:PR: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Updated
PR: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Updated
Sep 1, 2006, 13 :30 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (6204 reads)

The Debian project has updated the stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (codename `sarge'). This update mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org/ won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org/ are included in this update.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 3.1 CDs. Instead you only need to update against ftp ftp.debian.org or a mirror after an installation, in order to incorporate those changes. New CD and DVD images are being built right now and will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the `apt' package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:

<http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist>

Debian-Installer Update

In order to make available updated Linux kernel packages in the Debian installer it had to be updated as well. To accomplish this the following packages also required an update: base-config, base-installer, debian-installer and preseed.

Miscellaneous Bugfixes

This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages.
PackageReason
evmsFixes system lockup on boot
evolution-webcalGetting architectures back in sync
glibcFixes build failures
grubPreparations for etch kernels
kazehakaseCorrects segmentation faults
octavizCorrects library path
perlCorrects problems with UTF-8/taint fix and Tk
python-pgsqlCorrects regression due to PostgreSQL update
vlanCorrects interface settings
wzdftpdCorrects wrong dependencies
