For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.2-2+etch1.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.4-2+lenny1.
For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.12-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wget packages.");
