Re: Security updates and apt-get



Hello,

currently, whereas everything was fine,
I have some trouble with secure-testing.debian.net :
deselect/update `Could not connect ... (connection timed out)'

May be you have a similar issue:
in this case I guess it is better to just report in a few days
the operation.

hth,
Jerome

Hello!
I use a stable ditribution on my servers, and periodically I make
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade using security.debian.org in
sources.list
I think (as I know) that this operation updates the critical packages
installed in my systems.

If I add a line in sources.list like ftp.debian.org/debian stable main
etc etc, and I make apt-get update apt-get upgrade, how my packages
are updated? Can I upgrade my system using both repository?  ... sorry
for my bed english, I hope my doubt is clear enough.

You *should* have both in your sources.list.

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

Or am I misunderstanding you?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
