I know, I've had this problem a number of times in the past as well.
I've never tracked it down, but I can say that it does (sometimes) work.
I'm not entirely sure what the differences are etc...

However, to make it work, I've found upgrading to Debian testing
packages works every time, it is significantly more reliable. Also, at
this stage in the release cycle, IMHO, testing is fairly stable (ie,
doesn't get a lot of new packages/updates etc), so I am using it in
production in a couple of places (were I needed to migrate from a
physical windows machine to a VM).

I hope this helps in some way.

Regards,
Adam
