It's an sarge -> sarge upgrade problem (due to the ancient age of Debian 
stable, many people were forced to upgrade to unstable/testing).


Besides this, it might still be a future upgrade problem.
If your HUP already solves this issue, then sorry for the noise.


@James:
Regarding your repeated claim "If it takes a reboot to fix this 
problem, so be it !":

No, I do not expect that any upgrade of Debian requires a reboot (except 
when changing the kernel). Even the Debian 1.3 -> 2.0 upgrade which 
included the libc5 -> libc6 transition worked without a reboot, and I'm 
one of many Debian users who were very surprised if a reboot was 
required.
