To be a bit more specific, and as a service I've put up a patched i386 potato 
binary at:

http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~enbeo/korn_2.0.1-1_i386.deb

You might want to remove it to get apt-get upgrade to install the newest 
version from Ivan again. Easiest to get with wget and then install with dpkg -i.

The patches are below.
