Bug#866110: multipath-tools: mpathpersist segfaults. Newer version is available and fixed!

[Heiko Schlittermann (HS12-RIPE)]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.6.4-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the mpathpersist command segfaults. I got it fixed, but discovered, that
a similiar fix is already applied upstream.

Git commit fef089a6610f94a847541069f3008a5708044015
in the upstream sources fixes this problem!

I've added the above mentioned patch manually and installed the package
as a NMU and it works.

At least the segfaults are gone. I'm not sure if the tool is working
properly though.
