Just so you know both those versions are unreleased versions, it looks
like you are running from the squeeze-dev repo.
(one is from february, the other is from march, you would be much
better off running from the squeeze repo)
However your error is occuring because the user you are logging in
with does not have a valid expiry date and/or birthdate set on their
record.
