apt & dselect & security fixes
Someone give me a clue please.
Weekly news says new rsync to fix security hole, linked to email which
says uploaded to UK.
Subject: Uploaded rsync 2.3.1-0.slink.1 (source i386) to uk
greycat:~# more /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable non-US
deb ftp://debian.egr.msu.edu/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free non-US
I run dselect's update, which concludes with:
Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available.
Information about 2686 package(s) was updated.
When i go to select packages, however,
Pri Section Package Inst.ver Avail.ver
Opt net rsync 2.1.1-1 2.1.1-1
Does this mean that only the source is available & i should compile it
myself? Or am i doing something wrong with apt/dselect?
Thanks for the help,
judith bush
