question on bo-updates: found on ldso security update
I was notified this morning about the recent CIAC security announcment
on ld.so. I went to my Debian mirror and found that the fix was
already available under bo-updates directory. I *thought* that since
my system was up to date [i.e., v 1.3.1 + ] that I probably already
had the fix incorporated. But alas, I did not.
In fact, I found that there were about 20 .deb files in bo-update that
do not show up automatically with dselect. Apparently, bo-updates is
not intended to be in the dselect tree unless the user incorporates it
by hand?
