Hmmm, it appears that everybody was expecting somebody else to officially answer this. Anyway, after rapid installations of mount 2.5j-1.1, mount 2.5k-1, Debian 1.1.6 contains the latest: mount 2.5l-1. Debian users can upgrade by simply pointing the dpkg-ftp method of dselect at `ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable'. Alternatively they can download the file `ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable/binary-i386/base/mount_2.5l-1.deb' and install it by hand with `dpkg -i mount_2.5l-1.deb'. Alex, in the future please direct these questions to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. (closing the bug)
