Yes, I agree.  I restored -2 on www.uk.debian.org as soon as I found out about 
this, and stopped the mirror from running.

Dale's suggested solution of upgrading to a later, fixed version, is clearly 
the right approach if it can be done in a timely manner, but we are currently 
still publishing this dangerous -3 version from master, and I see that -5 is 
now in Incoming, so the quick fix (-4) presumably didn't work anyway.

IMHO We need a policy on this sort of thing, so that in future when a dangerous 
package version gets put on the ftp sites, we can back out quickly to a less 
broken version.

Cheers, Phil.
