I have to recompile this anyway. There's a problem with a header that I
found. I'll send a patch. But, either way, I install and uninstall all
of these packages about 10 times before uploading, so this shouldn't have
happened (it did, but it shouldn't have).
Can you try to ftp it and install it manually to see if it does it then as
well? I'm curious if I need to start using apt to upgrade it during my
testing process as well.
