Hello,

ifmetric fails with a similar error as reported previously:

Applying the little patch fixes the problem for me.

Issue also exists in wheezy. The one line patch fixes it there. Any
chance this can be applied before wheezy is released?

Hello Chris,

Would you be OK with a sponsored NMU (or perhaps sponsoring the upload
yourself; I'm not a DM/DD) of ifmetric to fix #514197?

I've been using my own patched package for a long while, and I do also
think it would be good to get this into wheezy proposed updates for the
next dot release.

Kind regards,
