For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version dvipng_1.11-1+lenny1. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1. We recommend that you upgrade your dvipng package.
