I can't say that I disagree without digging into the code and looking at wireshark. But I reckon if there were/are any serious security issues: 1) Ubuntu probablyly wouldn't allow it in their repositories: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apturl and 2) such issue would show up on: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bugs http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/apturl.html As for the "Software Center"... I prefer a terminal or synaptic. Anyway, I suppose & it's not mine to judge: I just provided you with the information you requested. It's up to you to determine if you want to use it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
