This error plagued the autobuilders a while ago.  Interesting that you
see it on the device itself.

I have attitude 0.0.8 installed on my N900 (old firmware:
RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-10_PR_TRUE):

  ~ $ ls -ld /opt
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Oct  8 01:14 /opt -> /home/opt

  ~ $ dpkg -L attitude|grep opt$
  /opt

  ~ $ dpkg -L base-files|grep opt$
  /opt

<niemeyer> I'm wondering why we have defineChecker() defined twice with exactly
           the same implementation under zope.security.checker...
<niemeyer> Is it some kind of high-availability system? :-)
