I believe you are mistaken. I filed the report after trying to use security.debian.org and having to dig up the old post to see why it wasn't working. It is still not working (yes, the directory seems to exist, but I can't believe there are zero security updates for AMD64 sarge. > [...] > > "Goswin von Brederlow answered this question in > > http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/07/msg00347.html. > > > > 'We are waiting on James Troup to activate amd64 on the security > > servers.

If there are then "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" aren't working on AMD64: # apt-get update Hit http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Packages Hit http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu sarge/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Release Hit http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu sarge/main Release Hit http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Release Reading Package Lists... Done # apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages have been kept back: gedit-common 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. I have installed no security patches through the proposed-updates mechanism as I have been waiting for the normal mechanism to work.
