<p>The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its stable
distribution Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codename "lenny").  This update mainly
adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with
a few adjustments for serious problems.</p>

<p>Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux <release> but only updates some of the packages included.  There is
no need to throw away <release> CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date
Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to
be updated.</p>

<p>Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update.</p>

<p>New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively
will be available soon at the regular locations.</p>

<p>Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to
one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors.  A comprehensive list of
mirrors is available at:</p>

<h2>New version of the debian-installer</h2>

<p>The Debian Installer has been updated in this point release to offer 
better support for installation of the "oldstable" distribution and from 
archive.debian.org.  The new installer also allows the system date to be 
updated using NTP if it is before January 1st, 1970 at boot time.</p>

<p>The kernel image used by the installer has been updated to incorporate a 
number of important and security-related fixes together with support for 
additional hardware.</p>

<p>An update to the udev package in the previous point release 
unfortunately led to the LEDs and on-board buzzer of arm/armel-based 
QNAP NAS devices not operating during installs.  This is rectified in 
the new installer release.</p>

<p>Finally, it is once again possible to use the installer on the S/390 
architecture by booting from CD.</p>


<h2>Security Updates</h2>

<p>This revision adds the following security updates to the stable release.
The Security Team has already released an advisory for each of these
updates:</p>

<h2>Removed packages</h2>

<p>The following packages were removed due to circumstances beyond our
control:</p>

<table border=0>
<tr><th>Package</th>               <th>Reason</th></tr>

<correction destar                "Security issues; unmaintained; abandoned upstream">

</table>

<p>Additionally those parts of the libwww-search-perl and 
libperl4caml-ocaml-dev packages which rely on the Google SOAP search 
API (provided by libnet-google-perl) are no longer functional as the
API has been retired by Google.  The remaining portions of the
packages will continue to function as before.</p>
