For the lenny-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 2.7.3-1~bpo50+2.

For the unstable (sid) distribution, the problem has been fixed in version
2.7.4-1, for testing (squeeze) the fix should hopefully follow soon.

Upgrade instructions

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with
the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new
versions of installed backports will be installed automatically.
