Hi,

On this page :
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch10.en.html

One says : "10.1.2.1 Manually checking which security updates are available

Debian does have a specific tool to check if a system needs to be
updated but many users will just want to manually check if any
security updates are available for their system. "

As the author tells about apt-get update && upgrade in the following
lines, I guess it
is not the tool he is referring to.

So does anyone know what tool he does refer to ?

This package fits the description:

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/update-manager-core

Not finding that one in Jessie. Thanx, Ric
