Ok backports cleanly to Precise as well. Did the tests, attached the
requestbackport output to the description. Thanks

** Description changed:

+ Summary (one line):
+ Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal
+ 
+ Description:
+ Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal to precise.
+ 
+ Reason for the backport:
+ ========================
+ This backport is needed in order to provide a backport to Oneiric.
+ 
+ Testing:
+ ========
+ Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
+ 
+ You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
+ $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise whois
+ 
+ * precise:
+ [X] Package builds without modification
+ [X] whois installs cleanly and runs
+ 
+ Reverse dependencies:
+ =====================
+ The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of whois. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new whois. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new whois installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

  Description:
  Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal to oneiric.
  
  Reason for the backport:

  [Impact]
  Fixes issues using whois with .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition updates query format for IPs when accessing ARIN.
  
  [Development Fix]
  These issues were fixed in 5.0.14 of whois.
  
  [Stable Fix]
  Since most of the fixes are covered in updating from 5.0.11 to 5.0.14, a backport of these version provides all fixes.
  
  [Test Case]
  1) whois google.hr (works on precise, not on oneiric)
  2) whois registry.sx google.com.pe
  3) whois 74.125.113.102
     if we use this command in precise we see that whois adds "n +" to the query, while
     in oneiric it doesn't add that.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Most of the changes are fairly minimal, although any changes to mkpasswd should be investigated.
  
  Problem Description:
  whois in oneiric can't query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition the query format for ARIN is different than in precise.
  
  Version affected:
  Current Oneiric Version: 5.0.11ubuntu2
