I noticed the announcement of the patch to SSH (version 3.3) in security-announce. I tried to upgrade to the patched Potato version. This was the pertinent line in my sources.list:

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

After apt-get update, I could only fetch 3.0. But I noticed that on another system, I was able to get 3.3. It had:

deb http://security.debian.org/ potato/updates main contrib non-free
                               ^^^^^^
in sources.list.

After changing my sources.list to that on the first system, and doing apt-get update, I was able to get ssh 3.3.

I thought potato and stable were the same thing right now!?  No?


They are, but the potato version of ssh 3.3 was only added quite
recently; the first announcement on -security-announce was when the
woody version was prepared. Are you sure you didn't just get your timing
wrong?



Well, I would think that if I hadn't gotten the update on one system *before* I tried unsuccessfully on the other!

Maybe just a mistake on my part. Can't replicate the effect now. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't mistaken in thinking that potato and stable were exactly the same thing (for now).

Thanks.
