The squid package in the oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.STABLE8-3+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages.");
