Looking at dpkg.log, I see that tircd was upgraded from version 0.10-2.1 on 2nd June. I don't think I restarted it until I rebooted the host (11 days ago). Downgrading both tircd and libnet-twitter-lite-perl to the stable versions gives me a working system. So, at a guess, the problem is that one of the other dependencies needs to be versioned. It's a shame that upstream doesn't specify this. Now, as to why I got this upgrade: I was actually running my own version with a patch for <http://code.google.com/p/tircd/issues/detail?id=98>, and APT apparently decided that since this was later than the stable version it should upgrade to the unstable version. I should probably pin the package to avoid this. However, you are supposed to use versioned package dependencies wherever the stable version is not new enough.
