This is a followup to the problem described in DSA 075-1.  Please read
the original advisory to find out more about the security problem.
This advisory and upload only fixes a problem with binary packages for

We recommend that you upgrade your netkit-telnet-ssl packages
immediately if you are running a sparc system.

wget url

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages
