[Martin Pitt]

    libzip |    0.9.3-1 |      maverick | source

Should be fixed in maverick, closing.

ACK for the lucid SRU, please upload/sponsor. Thanks!

Bug description:
libzip-0.9 is affected by a well-known memory leak:
http://www.nih.at/listarchive/libzip-discuss/msg00052.html

Ubuntu 10.04 is shipped with libzip-0.9 and affected by this leak.

This is especially bad on permanent processes opening and closing archives.

Upgrading 10.04 to libzip-0.9.3 would solve the problem.

(Note that 10.04 package is listed as 0.9-3 BUT the libzip being packaged is libzip-0.9, NOT libzip-0.9.3).
