I don't know how to find out the exact previous version. The apt cache
directory does not contain it anymore. I went back to 6.4-1sarge3, the
only older version I could find. That still works fine.

The upgrade that resulted in the reported error was done on the evening
(CEST) of Nov 27.

I update static statistic pages every two hours. As these were created
without any error message I am certain that the previous version worked.
