version 2.3.5-3sarge2. Due to build problems this update lacks fixed
packages for the Alpha and Sparc architectures. Once they are sorted
out, fixed binaries will be released.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.5-16.

We recommend that you upgrade your Python 2.3 packages.
