s/Gnus/debian/, perhaps...? :-)

In any case the version of swish++ in testing (which is currently a
bit ahead of the frozen woody), is only 5.1.

I've been running three machines on testing with regular upgrades,
since early this summer, without any major problems.

And even if you don't wish to upgrade, here's what you could do:
  - change "stable" to "testing" in /etc/apt/sources.list
  - do the following commands:
	apt-get update
	apt-get --dry-run install swish++
  - if this doesn't seem to wish to pull in any new shared libs, which
    may cause you to have to update other packages, just do
	apt-get install swish++
 - change "testing" back to "stable" in /etc/apt/sources.list, and do
   a new
	apt-get update

This is of course a lot newer, and probably spiffier than 5.1.
