[Bug 1510318] Re: Augeas 1.3 can't read some conf files

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

We can't bump augeas in Vivid and Wily as they are already released, but
it looks like it should be fairly easy to cherry-pick just this fix
without regressing existing users. Is this accurate?

In this case, if somebody can prepare and test a backported patch for
1.3.0-0ubuntu1, I will be happy to help drive this to a fix in Wily,
Vivid and Xenial which all currently are on that version.

I will need a commitment from someone to verify the fix for each release
as even though I appreciate there is an automated test case, we do still
require manual verification for updates to stable releases in order to
minimise risk of regression to existing users.

If you're interested in the process, it is documented at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
