I was going to look at this and then completely ran out of time, after which I forgot about it. Sorry about that. :/ I unfortunately still don't have a lot of time to look, and I'm not sure that the stable release managers will take this as an update given that the feature is not generally used. But I'll put it back on my list to look at and see if I can find time to do so. > Alternatively, and here is where I'm hoping you can point me in the > correct direction: Is there a way to use 1.6.dfsg.1-1 on an Etch system > while still tracking/obtaining security patches for this package > automatically with apt without affecting the rest of the system? Unfortunately, no -- there is no backport of a fixed version on backports.org and the lenny packages depend on a newer glibc and other things that aren't present in etch. You could rebuild the lenny patches on etch probably without a great deal of difficulty, but you'd need to rebuild them yourself for any security updates (making that not horribly attractive). -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
