There is a page listing all security bugs: http://qa.debian.org/bts-security.html And a quick hack to extract only the bugs for installed packages is at http://www.sfritsch.de/debian/list-bts-security (uses apt-show-versions and libwww-perl). Probably it would be nice to add some functionality to only show the differences from the last run... Cheers, Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
