[Pkg-netatalk-devel] Bug#568601: Bug#568601: Can confirm this problem still exists

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Hi Daniel,

Indeed, I am running Debian stable on my server with just netatalk and 
some of its dependencies from testing, so my setup is a bit unconventional.

This is in fact the case because Netatalk was dropped from Debian 12, 
and I didn't want to keep running the old version which has a security 
issue.

However, I think installing netatalk from any Debian version should 
still pull in the correct version of libgcrypt. Isn't that something 
that can be addressed in the netatalk package? I can imagine later 
versions of netatalk would need still newer versions of libgcrypt. The 
current dependency specification would fail to pull those in.

Kind regards,
Matijs van Zuijlen
