Bug#992437: libgetdata8: Patch for CVE-2021-20204 breaks many regression tests

[Graeme Smecher]

Package: libgetdata8
Version: 0.10.0-10
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The current patch [1] for CVE-2021-20204 [2] breaks many (602 of 1638)
regression tests (via "make check") and impacts basic library function.
Downstream software is impacted (hence, Debian bug #992372 on KST.)

For example: any dirfile with LINCOM fails to be recognized as a dirfile.

Upstream has been notified of the CVE and will hopefully respond with their own
patch.

thanks,
Graeme
