Indeed it seems the issue comes from the crafty book.bin & book.bin packages. On the official ftp site (ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/)
those files date back to 30/1/2007. At that time the latest stable
version of crafty was 21.6, which is higher than the 20.17 version the
error mesage complains about.
After further investigation i managed to get the book.bin & books.bin files provided on the ftp site to work.
The book.bin & books.bin files provided by the
crafty-books-medium debian package are dated from 04/03/2007. They
should work according to that date, however crafty reports them as
outdated.
So i replaced those files located in /var/lib/crafty by
those from the ftp site. (Note : the book files on the ftp server are
not that satisfying as they are much lighter that those provided from
the crafty-book-xxx packages)
So to me the procedure to solve the issue seem to be :
---
Rebuild up-to-date crafty-books-medium, crafty-books-medtosmall and
crafty-books-small packages. Either by asking the author to provide new
book files or by creating new ones as explained here :

I cannot verify this as crafty is only available for i386, but eboard
does nothing more than passing the path of the book file to crafty, so I
guess this is an issue with the crafty package or the crafty book packages.

Eboard though looks for them in the following locations :

/usr/share/crafty
As of eboard-1.1.1-3, it will also search in /var/lib/crafty. (#161497)
