Well, help judging. I think my debdiffs can be uploaded (maybe fix the
version to not conflict with the logical version number for yakkety).
However, I am delaying now because of the requirement¹ that the fix
should also be available in yakkety.

My sync of cacti² failed because of a dependency on libphp-adodb which
is behind in Ubuntu with respect to Debian, but Ubuntu stripped more
than required (I think) so either it needs every time a manual action,
or that diff should be ignored. I don't have the time to investigate
what the proper solution is. I could take the Ubuntu version in Debian,
but honestly, I don't like to upload in Debian, just to fix it in Ubuntu.

I updated cacti-spine in Debian yesterday, but because of the mysql
changes, that also needs an Ubuntu change (applying the
libmysql-client_r patch). I just haven't gotten around yet to do it.

So, if the fix is considered urgent (I sure do think we could press),
you could just sponsor my debdiffs. Otherwise, please help decide what
to do and/or making sure cacti and cacti-spine are quickly synced/merged
from Debian.

Paul
