Updates to packages in the stable distribution are limited to the following circumstances: * the new package fixes a truly critical functionality problem; * the package becomes uninstallable; * a released architecture lacks the package. See http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#distribution for details. Basically in order to get an updates package into stable I'd have to convince the stable release managers that the package really fixes a critical bug. With regards to this bug, this would involve two things: determining that the bug is indeed critical, and determining that a newer package fixes the bug, which would involve testing a preliminary version of the package by someone experiencing the bug. > >failure on the version of inputattach you have installed already, and > >you try to run it again, does it print an error message?

Could you show me the output of ps aux | grep inputattach (it shouldn't be necessary to run this as root)?
