Backport review: @gquintard's comment indicates that this is 5.0 only, so there is nothing to backport.

Hello,
I've applied patch from the commit, but situation hasn't changed. varnishstat still cannot reference eg. MAIN.cache_hit. :\
Thank you for any help.

You are doing something wrong if it's not working but I'm afraid this is not the right place for support.
Check https://varnish-cache.org/support/ for the correct channels.

@fgsch, it was my bad indeed. patch is in libvarnishapi, therefore deploying varnish debpkg alone doesn't make sense. Thank you for the kick and sorry for the noise. Patch works.

This issue still persists with
varnish-5.0.0 revision 99d036f. Could someone clarify whether this patch has been published in a later revision?dridi commentedon Aug 14, 2018
If you look at the patch b21b0d7 with a git client or directly on github you can see that this patch was first released with Varnish 5.1.0.
