Current Kicksecure Bullseye repo lacks hardened-malloc packages?

Support

Hello,

I wanted to update a VM that has not been updated for a while.
Unfortunately, the hardened-malloc package is no longer offered. Is there a reason for this and can the package be offered again via the Kicksecure Bullseye repo?

The hardened-malloc package is currently not available in any Bullseye repo, not in Stable, Stable Proposed, Testers, nor in Developers.

Last available version was:
hardened-malloc (0:12.5-1) unstable

Best regards

Hardened Malloc is deprecated in Kicksecure. It caused a lot of problems and so isn’t offered anymore.

Hello,

this is a great pity, extremely frustrating.
Users who are aware of the possible problems and are able to debug them themselves or accept the problems and do not cause any support effort are now forced to compile the module themselves instead of being able to rely on a package in the Kicksecure repos.

The package has worked perfectly for me. Why stop the rollout of working packages?
Is there a way to get the old last available version of the package from Kicksecure?

Best regards
