For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.3-9woody1.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.5-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your cfengine package.");
