dunno Debian well but on Fedora 2007 it took me not that much time to 
learn build rpms

when one have issues with 9.16.10 it's not likely Debian at all - look 
at 9.16.15 versus 9.16.10 from the OP

even Debian seems to be more recent and i don't like the "we are smarter 
than upstream on only god knows which fixes our package 
contains"-attitude to say it polite

so what's the point of running 9.16.10?

look "Upgrading to latest release will fix the issue" means "i know what 
will fix the issue but i still seek for whatever workaround instead 
solve the problem"
