Hello, Iirc there's a security-related bug in the version in etch and the missing binary on sparc blocked migration of the fixed package. libmotif3 is non-free and not-autobuilt, it requires somebody with access to a sparc machine to build it manually. Sadly this seems to be made difficult by a FTBFS on sparc, http://bugs.debian.org/323798 cu andreas -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurlr fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
