Hi, I found out that the cacti-spine package in Debian repository has the problem that was described here or at least a very similar problem - with multiple threads it randomly loses the connection to the MySQL server (errors 2006, 2013 and similar). Compiling spine from source and using libmysql.so.16 solves the problem.

Is there a way to fix the packages so that others do not run into this problem?

check if there's an open bug [ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepo ... t=unstable ] regarding this issue, if not report it [ https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting ]

If you're asking if a routine bug fix will find it way to Debian Stable, the answer is, of course, no.

If you're asking about the availability of a backport, you can always check such things here: http://backports.debian.org/Packages/

If you're asking about contributing a backport, I confess I don't know for sure, but a quick Web search revealed this: http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
