------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Updated Debian 6.0: 6.0.1 released [email protected] March 18th, 2011 http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110319 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updated Debian 6.0: 6.0.1 released The Debian project is pleased to announce the first update of its stable distribution Debian 6.0 (codename "Squeeze"). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustment to serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 6.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 6.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update. New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively will be available soon at the regular locations. Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or 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/mirror/list Miscellaneous Bugfixes ---------------------- This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages: Package Reason apt-dater Correct syntax of default configuration file base-files Update /etc/debian_version for the point release cdebconf Allow the GTK frontend to be used in a window managed environment clamav New upstream bugfix release clive Adapt for youtube.com changes cmake Rebuild upstream tarball to remove undistributable Windows build systems files console-setup Fix Swiss German, Bulgarian and Swedish keymaps in the installer cryptsetup Install cryptkeyctl initramfs hook;
