For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed
in version 0.5.0-1woody4. For the HP Precision architecture, you are
advised not to use this package anymore since we cannot provide
updated packages as it doesn't compile anymore.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8.0-2sarge4."
