Comment 40 for bug 1954854

First of all, thank you very much Michael for doing the informal verification.

Unfortunately, in order to proceed, and because we weren't able to reproduce this problem ourselves, we would still need your help to formally verify a future upload to bring the fix to the Ubuntu archive. Without your feedback, the package would not migrate from -proposed to -updates.

But I don't think all is lost! These last weeks we have been working on updating the bind9 package on Focal to the latest 9.16.x upstream release, which seems to contain the fix that I backported. If all goes well, this new release should land in the following weeks, and will finally address this bug (and others).

Thanks again for sticking with us through this slow and sometimes painful process of investigating, backporting and testing fixes.
