Correct.  They are concerned about a security issue in the kernel I
believe.  Keith Packard gave me special access, for a different reason.
But I can update the SVG::Metadata install.  Of course, that won't help
much until you too can log in, so hopefully the issue gets resolved.

I kind of wonder if they're being a bit too paranoid about the security
issues, but I'm not familiar enough with the issue to say.
