[SRU][Bionic][PATCH 0/5] Fixes for LP1799184 [v2]

[Khaled Elmously]

I'm having trouble extracting the patches from the email to apply them - possibly because the email's content-type is "multipart/alternative" as Kleber and Stefan pointed out.

Also I'm having trouble cherry-picking the patches manually from upstream using the SHAs (the first one conflicted, I didn't try the subsequent ones).

Frank, do you mind sending a pull-request?

Thanks
