For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.10.2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.10.3. We recommend that you update your mpg321 package. Upgrade Instructions - - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
