[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: refdb
Severity: important

There seems to be a memory overrun in refdb package, as explained by the build log:

backend-mods.c: In function 'add_partinfo_mods':
backend-mods.c:1121:12: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:642:0,
