Hi Christian, Thanks for replying to my inquiry. My information is different than what you provided. When I installed Woody, I did tell the installer that I wanted the security updates when I installed Woody. My Apt sources list: #deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib #deb-src http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free ***end*** My tools don't tell me that a 2.3.* is available, just 2.2.*. Are you running stuff from testing? For example: dpkg -s libc6 gives: Package: libc6 Status: install ok installed Priority: required Section: base Installed-Size: 12520 Maintainer: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: glibc Version: 2.2.5-11.2 Replaces: ldso (<= 1.9.11-9), timezone, timezones, gconv-modules, libtricks, libc6-bin, netkit-rpc, netbase (<< 4.0) Provides: glibc-2.2.5-11.2 Suggests: locales, glibc-doc Conflicts: strace (<< 4.0-0), libnss-db (<< 2.2-3), timezone, timezones, gconv-modules, libtricks, libc6-doc, libc5 (<< 5.4.33-7), libpthread0 (<< 0.7-10), libc6-bin, libwcsmbs, apt (<< 0.3.0), libglib1.2 (<< 1.2.1-2), libc6-i586, libc6-i686, libc6-v9, netkit-rpc Conffiles: /etc/default/devpts fc857c5ac5fb84d80720ed4d1c624f6e Description: GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system. This package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the standard math library, as well as many others. Timezone data is also included. and dpkg -s libc6-dev gives Package: libc6-dev Status: deinstall ok unpacked Priority: standard Section: devel Installed-Size: 11416 Maintainer: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: glibc Version: 2.2.5-11.5 Config-Version: 2.2.5-11.2 Replaces: man-db (<= 2.3.10-41), gettext (<= 0.10.26-1), ppp (<= 2.2.0f-24), libgdbmg1-dev (<= 1.7.3-24), ldso (<= 1.9.11-9), netkit-rpc, netbase (<< 4.0) Provides: libc-dev Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.5) Recommends: c-compiler Suggests: glibc-doc Conflicts: libstdc++2.10-dev (<< 1:2.95.2-15), gcc-2.95 (<< 1:2.95.3-8), libpthread0-dev, libdl1-dev, libdb1-dev, libgdbm1-dev, libc6-dev (<< 2.0.110-1), locales (<< 2.1.3-5), libstdc++2.9-dev, netkit-rpc, libc-dev Description: GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files. Contains the symlinks, headers, and object files needed to compile and link programs which use the standard C library. Where did you get the 2.3.* packages. I asked the question, as usually updates don't break things. Now weather it is a bug that the prerequisites to a security update are in stable or not I'm not sure. But that is what I wanted to point out. I do a bit of compiling on this system, so I did pull in the developers packages (C/C++). How did you pick up the 2.3.*?
