This problem has been fixed in version 2.7.30p5-1.1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 2.7.30p5-2 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected, since it doesn't contain the Light package. We recommend that you upgrade your epic4-script-light package and restart your IRC client. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. 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 You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
