The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain an ekg package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.5+20050411-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.5+20050712+1.6rc2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ekg package.
