-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: RIPEMD160


Why is there no security update for postgresql-9.0 on squeeze?

.. just wondered why my cron-apt didn't report any postgresql updates
today. My security.sources.list is

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

on Debian squeeze with postgresql-9.0 installed:

i   postgresql-9.0

cu,
