Yep. The augmented assignments were added with 1.6 (which was a
"contractual compliance" release, 2.0 was released a day later or
something and had almost the same features).

It's not really hard to replace those augmented assignments (at a slight
speed penalty), but I think you're better off just getting 2.2+.  I
think there are .deb's available... but worst case, build from source.
