Huh? Where did you look? The wordpress package installs WordPress. WordPress updates independant of Debian packagers.

Please file a bug report with upstream (WordPress) if, after having reviewed instructions on how to upgrade WordPress (Dashboard -> click on the icon showing "2", being the number of updates - 1 for WordPress and the other for the Akismet extension). In my experience the Wheezy Debian package install WordPress 3.6.1 which then upgrades to the current latest stable WordPress 3.7.1 > > Chris > > Kind regards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
