Dear Martin!

Once more I need a little hint for beeing s(ec)ure!

Please tell me wheather I understood your email correctly! 
(your email: Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA 561-1] New libxpm packages fix several
vulnerabilities) 

I think the upgrade of (I take out one as an example:) "twm" is a going-back
to an old version (?) - as the version numbers show ...

- - - - -
I made an "apt-get update", then
kpackage entries looked like this:
twm ... 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 ... (installed) (old version)
twm ... 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 ... (U)

.. according to your email I did the following:

root@Box:/home/xxbor# wget
http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/x/xfree86/twm_4.1.0-16woody4_i386.deb

kpackage entry afterwards:
twm ... 4.1.0-16woody4 ... (installed)

Have I made a mistake?
Thank You for your time,
