Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.8.3-5+lenny1
Severity: normal

The following formula used to calculate a more or less arbitrary number which 
gave me a
hint which students of mine I had neglected (i.e. not graded) for a while. I 
enter my
grades in columns for every student (= row) with the latest being on the left 
(i.e. I
create a new column so that the older ones move to the right).

=if(Total!$A12="","",round((15.5-D12)*(match(FALSE,if(G12:DP12=""),0)-0.5)))

At the heart of the formula is MATCH, which I need to find out how many columns 
are blank
in a given row before the last grade can be found, i.e. for how many lessons I 
have failed
to grade this student.

Note that the formula depends on IF returning a range if used on a range. The 
resulting
range of FALSE and TRUE is then searched using MATCH. A simpler way would be 
this similar
formula:

=match(FALSE,isblank(H14:R14),0)

Now, with the upgrade from Debian Etch to Lenny, both of these formulae only 
return #N/A.

Upstream developer commented: "To make your formulas work you just
have to enter them as array functions. (ctrl-shift-enter)".
For maintainer there is nothing left to do so I'm closing this bug
that was reported against pre-oldstable version of gnumeric.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected],
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
