[Bug 2029930] Re: wget crash when printing download rate

[Andreas Hasenack]

I prepared a ppa with the fix here:

https://launchpad.net/~ahasenack/+archive/ubuntu/wget-2029930

Packages are still building as I write this, and should be published in
an hour or so.

@halfgaar, would you be able to test it? I can easily upload to noble,
but for an SRU, we would require a bit more detail on how you are so
easily able to reproduce this crash, and how we could create an
environment where the fix could be tested for all affected ubuntu
releases.

  All supported versions of Ubuntu suffer from crashes in wget in printing of the download speed. I've been getting this on various servers. It's been fixed upstream and should probably be included in 'updates' of all supported Ubuntu versions.
