It might be worth trying to lock the version of that package so the
packaging system doesn't try to upgrade it: Package->Lock Version in
Synaptic or look up pinning in the apt manual. 

This will prevent normal updates though so it would be a good idea to
remove the lock every so often and try updating (you might even get a
fix for the problem...).
