The two bug reports relating to this issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428633 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428008) suggest to me that you either don't keep your distribution updated very well, or you're upgrading from pre-etch to lenny without hitting etch in between. --Ken -- Ken Bloom.
