For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.0.3-4woody1 The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain the ipmenu package. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.0.3-5. We recommend that you upgrade your ipmenu package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
