$ apt-cache policy libjack0
libjack0:
  Installed: 0.116.1-3
  Candidate: (none)
  Package pin: (not found)
  Version table:
 *** 0.116.1-3 1000
        500 ftp://ftp.debian.nl unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.109.2-5 1000
        990 ftp://ftp.debian.nl testing/main Packages

It seems to be fixed thanks! :)

Keep up the good work!
