While I appreciate the response, I hope you can see how it's not entirely 
useful to me.

This setup was configured through the Debian Installer when the system was 
originally installed and from what I gather from reading the TFM, what it 
seems to indicate is that the Debian Installer didn't set it up correctly and 
now I'm screwed.

So what are the options? Keep the package held for all eternity (since 
previous versions of the package do work), or wipe and reinstall the system 
hoping that the installer does a better job this time?

Any tips on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Todd
