Check through the DSA advisories for revisions like -2/-3 etc. Some of the updates did not fix the bug in the initial release, eg: DSA 460-2. I have never had a problem with a broken DSA update though. The problem with 479-1 would have been a problem for some people however. -- David Stanaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
