May I suggest: --- If "sid" is used in the above example instead of "lenny", the "deb: http://security.debian.org/ …" line for security updates in the "/etc/apt/sources.list" is not required as there is no need to have a separate security update archive for "sid". This is because "sid" (unstable) is *usually* updated whenever security issues are fixed for stable. However, it can happen that the fixes are not applied immediately (e.g. the maintainer is waiting for a new version from upstream which fixes the issue) or issues exist which do not affect the version in stable or testing, in which case Debian will not even issue a DSA. --- (DSA might need expanding/explaining if not already done in some other paragraph) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
