You're welcome.

For me it was "real" enough that I downgraded to the version in
testing yesterday (before seeing Antonio's bug report today which
saved me the debugging time I had planned to do) because the hanging
lvremove broke autopkgtests which would have kept me from uploading
packages. I guess there are other use cases (like Antonio's backup)
where not being able to remove an LVM snapshot is also more than
cosmetic. - Just my quick thoughts and no direct answer to your
RC-ness question :)


Cheers,
gregor
