python-django in the oldstable distribution (etch), is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-1+lenny2.

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

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.");
