No. 2.6.26-2 the the current version of the kernel in stable. If you have *any* issues on 2.6.26-1 you will be asked to upgrade and reproduce the error there. If it is a security issue, but not reproducable on 2.6.26-2 a DSA may go out, but it will simply recommend upgrading to 2.6.26-2. If it is a security issue and reproducable, a patch will be developed, 2.6.26-3 or 2.6.26-2lenny1 will be produced and a DSA will be issued recommending an upgrade to the new package. If it is not a security issue, but release critical, a patch and new version may be prepared for the next Lenny update (Debian 5.0.2) which may not be out for a couple of months. While I haven't looked at this package in specific, the changes between -1 and -2 and extremely minimal, just security and release-critical fixes done in the least intrusive way possible. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
