Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2008-08-27 03:11:23 UTC

This was due to an API change in 3.2.18, but I thought an update went out fixing it up

Comment 2 James Antill 2008-08-27 05:15:27 UTC

 Due to recent events 3.2.19 has only just been released, so I'd assume it'll hit updates-testing in the next day or so.
