For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.1-2sarge1. Due to build problems this update lacks fixed packages for the m68k architecture. Once they are sorted out, binaries for m68k will be released.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your Python 2.4 packages.");
