True, there was some late minute package shiffling which meant that -16
ended up going straight into sarge. Unfortunately now we have this bug.
A similar thing seems to have happened with 2.4.27 and some neftilter
symbols. It partly my fault (in the sense that I uploaded the packages)
and partly a process issue. I do appologise for any inconvenience and
I'll try and get updates together over the next few days. But we have
clearly missed the boat for 3.1r0.
