If you want to avoid those sorts of updates and only get the security ones, you can disable the "updates" repository and just use "security". That'd result in quite a lot of the updates being eliminated. There are also changelogs available in the update window. If the bug in question doesn't affect you, you can uncheck the update. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
