Right now, another 1.5 month after your mail and 3 months after my
initial raport I have read about the new release of RIPE Database. As
pointed above, the release 1.72 should contain any issues reported in
the meantime that were not critical for the user and due to that fact
were not included in the 1.71 release.

It seems that the mistake with person-name is still not corrected.
That's why I was then so sceptical about this kind of statements. :(

I have to admit that this error is probably still not corrected due to
the fact that the patch was only applied to the
whois-client/src/main/java/net/ripe/db/whois/common/rpsl/AttributeSyntax.java
file
(https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/commit/09fbbab3676a39a905b7972822596f1f75fc6ab4)
and has not been applied to the
whois-client/src/main/java/net/ripe/db/whois/common/rpsl/AttributeType.java
file. If this is the case, this means that there is a flaw in the
testing procedure and no-one have checked if the patch (hope that only
this one) is correct.

Moreover - the community was assured that the mistake with description
of Error 108 will be fixed shortly. It seems that it hasn't been fixed
yet.

Best regards,
Piotr
