Hi,

Installing sudo returns the apt-listbugs message:

Critical bugs of sudo (-> 1.6.8p7-1.2 )<open>
#315115 -[bugtrak] sudo version 1.6.8p9 now available,
fixes security issue.
Merged with:315718

The trouble is that I can't find v. 1.6.8p9 from the
stable package list, and etch provides sudo
1.6.8p12-1, but I would rather not have a mixed
system.


This is a concern. If bugtrak says 1.6.8p9 is available then it should come down the pipe with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

do you have security.debian.org in your sources.list?

A

for your interest, it hasn't showed up yet for sarge (running aptitude upgrade/dist-upgrade frequently here)

regards,

Joris
