Subject: ndiswrapper-dkms fails to compile

Date: Thu, 05 May 2016 17:47:22 -0800

Package: ndiswrapper-dkms
Version: 1.59-2
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i patch upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

The ndiswrapper source uses the depreciated c function 'strnicmp()',
this function is not in the libc anymore.  It can be replaces with the
working function 'strncasecmp()' without any other changes.

Then it will compile, and I've had zero issues with this so far.

Thanks,
Jon.

This has been fixed since almost a year in 1.59-3.

This is not Debian. Please file bugs with your actual distribution.
