Another version of this is unexpectedly finding some niche, single-developer software tool that does precisely the thing you need, all because some genius angel stranger (strangel?) from the internet happened to encounter the same problem, and somehow knew how to fix it.
The bug is in the library of a library that the library owns. They fixed it and published it in the library of the library but the library hasn’t been updated in 2 months.
I just went through this exact process (not for the first time) two weeks ago with a bug in the golang standard library. Fun times. Deep in the dependency stack of a container build my team doesn't own so who knows when I'll get a fixed version.
