I was only pointing out to Justin other facts that people tends quickly to forget when maintainers are not delivering their bugs at the speed they expect. > > I'd better suggest to upgrade to a newer version.

Well, without checking I cannot tell it for true at 100%, but I believe this bug is already corrected in current unstable/testing version (1.0.3). Current woody backport [1] is at 1.0.0beta3, and probably fixes this too.

Then there is not much that can be done at that level. He is free to refuse fixing an old version and you're free to refuse upgrading. The only thing we can do is patch the current package as Justin proposed (it was a trivial patch, isn't it?) and upload it to woody proposed-updates. regards, -- Ricardo Mones Lastra - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Centro de Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad de Oviedo en Gijon 33271 Asturias, SPAIN. - http://www.aic.uniovi.es/mones -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
