[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#596219: gnumed-client: grave health-endangering bug regarding allergies

[root]

Package: gnumed-client
Version: 0.7.8-1
Severity: important


Under certain (not uncommon) circumstances it can happen that GNUmed
OVERWRITES allergy entries in a patient chart.

This can lead to DEATH of a patient due to an anaphylactic shock.

The bug is fixed in upstream 0.7.9 which is a *strictly-bug-fix-only*
release.

	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/0.7/

Please strongly consider for testing-proposed-updates and feel free to
ask for clarification if needed.

The issue has been raised on debian-devel under the subject line

	"Is a bug RC relevant if it has an influence on the health of a person"

	http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/09/msg00203.html

as well.

Thanks,
Karsten Hilbert, MD, GP
