For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-2+etch1. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-6+lenny1. For the testing distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-6.1. We recommend that you upgrade your libwmf packages. |
