thanks

Thank you for your bug report.  Sad to hear that the problem is still
affecting users.  The fixed package should make it into etch in 6
days.

I believe this is the same as bug #331438, fixed in version 1.32.  The
argument parsing of 'su' was changed and this broke
popularity-contest.  We have changed popularity-contest to work around
this, and the argument parsing of 'su' have since been changed to work
as before.
