If you were talking about me, then you didn't read me... I was NOT
talking about any of my servers, but about other people complaining my
app was not working because of that issue... Again, I do NOT use the
backports (except some tries on my laptop maybe), I use Sarge, Etch or SID.
Anyway, I think we are annoying everybody because of my first post. To
all: sorry, and let's stop, ok? :)
