[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The attachment "debdiff for zesty" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

Robert, could you update the bug description to include the SRU template:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

I don't have experience with xserver packages. Could you ask someone that does to look into sponsoring this?

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

Won't be able to verify this anymore and it was removed from zesty so I'll close it.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Presumably this is also Won't Fix for the proposed SRUs then? Marking as such and unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors.
