"lenny" in the version string is usually an indicator that the package was built in the lenny environment instead of the default (unstable) environment. It doesn't immediately indicate that the package is inappropriate for Squeeze. In this case, it is probably an upload that was scheduled before the Lenny -> Squeeze transition but finished after the transition. At least one security update has done this and is currently being repackaged for oldstable. It's possible it also happened with something that was targeting stable-proposed- updates. This package won't cause any problems where it is at, so a bug is not appropriate for it being present in squeeze-proposed-updates. However, if you think this should appear in lenny-proposed-updates and it isn't there, you should make sure the maintainer is notified. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
