When do we update? ----- Forwarded message from Joey Schulze <joey(a)infodrom.org> ----- From: Joey Schulze <joey(a)infodrom.org> To: Debian Announcements <debian-announce(a)lists.debian.org> Subject: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated press(a)debian.org January 30th, 2010 http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20100130 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated 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. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 5.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to- date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated. 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. 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. 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: <http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist> Miscellaneous Bugfixes ---------------------- This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages: Package Reason alien-arena Fix remote arbitrary code execution amarok Apply regex update to make Wikipedia tab work again apache2 Several issues backup-manager Fix possible mysql password leakage to local users backuppc Prohibit editing of client name alias to avoid unauthorised file access base-files Update /etc/debian_version to reflect the point release choose-mirror Improve suite selection and validation of suites available on selected mirror clock-setup Correctly handle system dates before epoch consolekit Don't create pam-foreground-compat tag files for remote users debmirror Compress packages files using --rsyncable so they match the files from the archive devscripts Update a number of scripts to understand squeeze and lenny-backports dhcp3 Fix memory leak and SIGPIPE in LDAP code dpkg Various fixes to new source package format support drupal6 Fix XSS issues in Contact and Menu moduels fam Fix 100% CPU usage in famd fetchmail Fix init script dependencies;

The new installer also allows the system date to be updated using NTP if it is before January 1st, 1970 at boot time. 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. 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. Finally, it is once again possible to use the installer on the S/390 architecture by booting from CD.

nebka disk issue
by Christian Zimmermann 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

As I have alerted you several times in the past weeks, the nebka disk is quickly filling up. I saw no reaction, but the problem is still there. Right now the disk is at 96%. Given that it was at 60% only a few weeks ago, this increase in disk usage must be unusual. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
