Re: [SECURITY] [DSA 122-1] New zlib & other packages fix buffer overflow
When woody finally is stable, and you run apt-get upgrade, you should get
suspicious when it says there are 150 packages to be upgraded and its going
to download 250 MB to do it :-)
You will probably know woody is out before hand, and should be expecting it.
