Re: [SECURITY] [DSA 3547-1] imagemagick security update

[Bjoern Nyjorden <brn@iinet.net.au>]

Hi again,

Yes, as at ~ 0810 +0800 (0010 UTC) today; the server address below was 
resolving to the IP Address that you correctly assumed:

 URI: 
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/i/imagemagick/

 IP Address: 150.203.164.61  (at my Australian location).

The imagemagick security update did not show up until somewhere between; 
~0730 to 0808 +0800(UTC+8) (~2330 to 0008 +0000(UTC)) this morning - a 
delay of more than 24 hours - hence my concern.

Given that this is not the first occurrence, what options does the 
Debian community have available to prevent this problem from arising 
again in the future?

Yours sincerely,
Bjoern.
