Comment 1 for bug 1591670

The patch exists in yakkety and zesty, but not xenial. I am going to mark this as incomplete and let the reporter come back if this is still needed.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous version (e.g. xenial) of Ubuntu, then the relevant procedure is documented here:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

However, I'm not sure this bug would qualify under that policy, although I am not on the SRU team and cannot make that decision.
