Re: Software-upgrades not installable due to APT-misconfiguration ?



First I had some problems with gmane finding the my thread, the I tried to reply through
gmane, but now I found that my answer was not there, although the system told me, that
sending seems to have been done correctly.
When I think of it now this must be the most insecure thing ever, as only my name and
e-mail address were required, and no authentication at all took place, except some
pseudo-captcha. Do you really rely on people not to abuse this hole ? Or does it just
look like a security hole to me in review ?
Installing 'linux-source-3.2' and building it worked just fine, it is running just fine
now, too, useless to say, that there was no configuration necessary prior to building the
kernel-package, all the settings were already made.
Configuration-files cleaned now, 'aptitude update' issued, but still:
