I'm sorry, but I think something has gone wrong at your site -- I'm running
Debian/Sarge systems and they do not have 1.6.5-2, but instead stayed at
1.6.5-1. Please double-check your sources.list or the contents of your logfiles,
where 1.6.5-2 got installed!

I've already submitted the bug report, but no response so far...
