The original code above is outdated [1] and the diff introduces at the
same time two changes which have different meanings: the first one, like
you stated at the end of your mail, is clearly correct [2]; the second
one just adds more time to the check. Is this really needed?

Steffen, can you please remove the whole part?
I have now discovered, on the same page, the other two problems:
- apt-get segmentation fault
Whenever you get a segmentation fault while using apt-get or aptitude,
clean the database so it will rebuild it
rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
This is not a *solution*, but a mere workaround and that advice is not
a good thing.
- If Zhone doesn't start it is most likely due to a bug in the
python-evas package[3] (fixed in new install). Install the alternate
package:
wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb
dpkg -i python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb
This problem has been reported as bug #508710 [3]: unfortunately,
without following the instructions at [4], thus the pkg-fso-maint
mailing list has not been cc:ed.
Arne, since the problem should be solved in the (semi-)official
pkg-fso repository (python-evas_0.3.1+svn20081220-0.2~fr.1), can you
please remove your files and link to the pkg-fso repository instead?
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
