retry at email Security problem with deian12.10.0
Dear Debian,
I am having difficulty in attempting to access your facilities. From Debian's response it would
appear a security issue. This is partially confirmed by "Open Printing's" response of "Not
Allowed" by a request for the software required for my HP LaserJet 2100m printer.
The breach of security could have arisen in my mistaken use of "gb" instead of Debian's prefix
of "uk" in their uk site's address. It used to"gb". Too late, I realised my error. Security is a
growing problem, hence Debian's sensitivity.
Another area of sensitivity is "server overload". During a download my machine got caught in a
"deadly embrace" and it resulted in multiple downloads, which must have led to frustration and
irritation.
If I have caused Debian problems I apologise, and I will try not to repeat the offences.
If you can unlock the hold on my username, I'd be grateful.
Yours faithfully
Donald MacKinnon
