Package: rsync Version: 2.6.5-1 Severity: important The upstream rsync package includes a copy of zlib and unconditionally uses it during the build. This means that any security updates to zlib need to be independantly applied to this package.
Ideally the configure script should detect if zlib is present on the system and only use the local copy if there's nothing suitable on the system already. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters rsync recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
