I don't know why two markedly different patches were applied, but I assume that either set will do, and I took the 1.3.5-15 patches as being simpler and easier to understand. I will CC: this to the Debian bug list so that the issue can be documented there. Is it intended that gzip 1.3.5-15 use quite a different patch set than 1.3.5-10sarge2, and that either patch fixes the security holes in question? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
