For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1a15-1.1+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1a15-1.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1a15-1.2.

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