For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.16-3woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your libnids package. Upgrade Instructions - - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
