For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 7.37-8+lenny1.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 7.83-2squeeze2.

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

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