Well, I do not know exactly, as I am quite a newbie, but I see two problems here: 1. it is not exactly a bug on a package, that renders it unusable, but a bug on a package, that renders other (related by a function call) packages unusable; 2. the buggy package is quite outdated compared to the upstream version, so finding the correction requires history browsing and backporting, and it may even not apply: however, I think I found the exact modification that fixes it, and I contacted the upstream author for advice and confirmation. I would be glad to update the package to fix that, if it can indeed enter Squeeze. I have contacted the current maintainer to see if I can help. -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo <xmpp:tanguy@ortolo.eu> <irc://irc.oftc.net/Elessar> | `-' Theoretically Debian Maintainer \_
