[Moin-user] Twisted and patch-683 ?

I would suggest you simply try latest moin release and do not use an old 
debian package. See here if you need some deb package:

I guess the patch is contained in latest release (+ some dozends more).

Go with 1.5.2, but for first try, keep python and twisted "as is".

After that, if you encounter python or twisted related problems, you can 
do a /usr/local install of both python2.4.2 and twisted (and maybe other 
python stuff you need).
