Well, maybe you should follow Tim's advice and go check the security team's FAQ : Q: How is security handled for testing and unstable? A: The short answer is: it's not. Testing and unstable are rapidly moving targets and the security team does not have the resources needed to properly support those. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable. Of course, if you're using unstable, fixes tend to appear quickly, but : - "tend to" is not acceptable when security is concerned - it may take a lot more time depending on your local mirror -- Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
