But running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade does not upgrade PDFsam Basic (it is 4.2.2-1 and needs to go to 4.2.10 apparently: https://blog.pdfsam.org/pdfsam-basic/pdfsam-and-log4j2-vulnerability/2286/). I thought that anything in the main repositories of the stable version of Debian gets security updates - is this not the case? And if I uninstall and reinstall PDFsam Basic I assume I will still get the version in the repos, which is the old one.
