Dear Maintainer,

this bug was reported to be a duplicate of #674006. The page
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674006
mentions that bug being closed in 2012. Yet I am still unable to use
wvdial after a recent upgrade in the second half of 2017 due to exactly
the bug described here. I would like to better understand why this bug
is a duplicate of another, since long fixed, bug, yet wvdial remains
unusable.

Thank you in advance!
Peter
