If you used dpkg -i, you might not have noticed the new freeradius-common
package. In the future, to install/upgrade FreeRADIUS packages on
Debian(-like) systems, just use the standard official repositories with APT,
so that you get the tested packages with all the necessary dependencies
resolved automatically. We haven't had 2.1.6 and earlier 2.1.x versions
in there, but now we do.

Also if you're running the stable distribution - the Debian packages built
(backported) for release 5.0/lenny are available at the standard place:
http://www.backports.org/ One just has to add another line to
sources.list(5) and use the target release 'lenny-backports'.
