ahh another potato user. :-)
can we compare notes on whether you have this upgraded in your potato:
bsdutils_1%3a2.10s-2_i386.deb mount_2.10s-2_i386.deb
e2fsprogs_1.19-3_i386.deb ppp_2.4.0f-1_i386.deb
iptables_1.2-2_i386.deb util-linux_2.10s-2_i386.deb
modutils_2.4.2-1_i386.deb
did you get your backported packaged for potato from unstable
initially or from some place else?
