Hi, I've read this security message concerning Openoffice.org. I'm very new to Debian GNU/Linux, and I don't know how to upgrade. I'm running etch on AMD64 (just installed last week).
The security message it says: For the testing distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.4.dfsg.2-6.
I checked with 'apt-cache show openoffice.org' and somewhere I found 'Version: 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5'. The security message says furthermore: Upgrade Instructions
- -------------------- If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given at the end of this advisory: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For apt-get: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main For dpkg-ftp: ftp://security.debian.org/debian-securitydists/stable/updates/main Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org Package info: `apt-cache show <pkg>' and http://packages.debian.org/<pkg>
I could not find anything referring to AMD64 or to 2.0.4.dfsg.2-6 in the whole security message. How do I upgrade my AMD64 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5 version to AMD64 2.0.4.dfsg.2-6? Here's what my /etc/apt/sources.list says: deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib Is there anything wrong or missing in this sources.list? Simply doing an apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade does not upgrade OpenOffice.org. Thanks in advance, Manon Metten.
