 Debian Security Advisory DSA 431-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't mean to be paranoid but this advisory is dated February 1st, 2004
but the new changelog entries are both dated 11 Sep 2003 and the deb file
for i386 I got has a timestamp of Sep 12. Furthermore judging from
timestamps on [1] other architectures seem to have similar build dates.

Did it really take that long to coordinate this DSA or do all build
daemons have a problem with their clocks? Not that it really matters for
this DSA as it is a minor problem that should not affect that many people,
just being curious.

Yes, the packages were built a long time ago.  I was waiting for some
additional problems to be fixed, but the advisory had to be released in
order to fix a problem with the postgresql update (which had picked up a
dependency on this unreleased version).

 Does this mean that it is possible that known and fixed (!) security
 problems are not being corrected in Debian for nearly 5 months? Even
 though this may be a minor problem, I would like to see it fixed as
 soon as possible.

Trollbait politely declined.
