All known security issues are carefully +tracked against both packages and both packages will receive security +updates until security support for Debian 'etch' concludes. However, given +the high frequency at which low-severity security issues are discovered in +the kernel and the resource requirements of doing an update, lower severity +2.6.18 and 2.6.24 updates will typically release in a staggered or "leap-frog" +fashion. + +Upgrade instructions +-------------------- + +wget url + will fetch the file for you +dpkg -i file.deb + will install the referenced file. + +If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for +sources.list as given below: + +apt-get update + will update the internal database +apt-get upgrade + will install corrected packages + +The following matrix lists additional source packages that were rebuilt for +compatability with or to take advantage of this update: + + Debian 4.0 (etch) + fai-kernels 1.17+etch.23etch1 + user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch.23etch1 + +You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the +footer to the proper configuration. + +Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch +------------------------------- + + + These changes will probably be included in the stable distribution on + its next update. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +For apt-get: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main +For dpkg-ftp: ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security dists/stable/updates/main +Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org +Package info: `apt-cache show <pkg>' and http://packages.debian.org/<pkg> |
