High volume is not my concern and of course I am subscribed to debian-security-announce. I came across this issue because I patched a package, recompiled it and installed it via dpkg. After that apt-get upgrade wanted to replace my shiny patched package, which is not what I want. Thus I put it on hold. I also got a daily apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -f script running on every machine. It only downloads new packages and mails the results to me so I can do the real upgrade. But If a package is on hold, I don't get notice of it any more. I think I have to change my daily update script and make it look somewhere else in the system, like Thomas Stemler pointed out. Just following deb-sec-announce is not automatic enough for me. The debian systems I administer know better which packages are installed on them and can tell me what should be done. Please correct me if I am wrong or give me advice how I could do it better. Thanks. Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
