I'm sorry to have missed the front of this thread. First, the version in stable is correct. The fact that an older version is in unstable is a minor problem with the archive management.
Second, this version was tested on a "fresh" install by myself and at least one other tester, with no problems, so I am confused as to why/how this problem got started. Aside from complaining about the older version, does the package install? Sorry if I'm asking for a previous explanation... On Wed, 2 Jul 1997, Colin R.
