My original intention was to > fix this in a completely different way (as my last patch from v1 > demonstrates) and that was incompatible with yours. How do you want to proceed? Laine's series to improve error reporting in passt is included in: - passt version 2023_02_16.4663ccc - Debian and Ubuntu packages 0.0~git20230216.4663ccc, pending upload - Fedora and CentOS Stream packages passt-0^20230216.g4663ccc-1 (stable: fc38, fc39, eln126, testing: fc36, fc37) I guess either an updated patch from Laine with your refinements or an updated series from you would work...? Thanks, -- Stefano
