Bug#665459: boinc-client v.7.0.15 Einstein at home S6LV1 tasks all end with computation errors

[Jos van Wolput]

Hello,

According to Bernd Machenschalk, E at H developer, this is a client problem which is fixed in 7.0.23.
Please upgrade the Debian package to the newest version (7.0.15 is pretty old ;-).

Cheers,
Jos v.W.
