    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1.9.0.9-0lenny2.

    As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
    Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
    before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
