Lots of updates? OK?
My wheezy system shows 34 packages updated since I last checked, which I think was yesterday. Is this legitimate? I got a security warning about the keys when I first checked, but that went away after I did another aptitude update. I haven't installed any of the new packages yet. The update seems to include a point release (at least base-files changes) and a new linux kernel. I see some security advisories, including the version bump for iceweasel, but nothing about, for example, the kernel. And the debian web site says the last point release was in July.

You'll need to upgrade libc6 if you want to run Sarge. Several hundred packages depend on it. I can't promise you won't have problems; if you need that stick with Woody. I can say that I've been running the newer libc6 versions for about six weeks and I haven't seen any problems. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Lots of updates!
Good to know this isn't a weird thing with my computer! Now, reading the web page on DebianPlanet I saw there were some stability problems with KDE 3.1. Any word if this has been solved already or maybe I should keep my current libc version by now? Cheers, Ronald On Sunday 30 March 2003 14:52, J.H.M.

Lots of updates!
