Yes, that's true. This line will make security fixes available to your system. > According to the above line, we need not use the line: > deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free > for lenny since it is already archived and therefore, does not receive > any more security updates? That's true as well. Such an old version doesn't receive security fixes anymore. > Hence, for archived Lenny, should I remove the line: > deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free > from /etc/apt/sources.list ? Yes, it's useless. Only stable and oldstable (during something like one year) branches have a dedicated security repository.
