Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: grave Security updates for the Debian kernel packages are available in unstable for multiple architectures, and are ready to propagate into testing once a number of stale binary packages are removed.
i386 ---- From the i2c source package: i2c-2.4.27-1-386, i2c-2.4.27-1-586tsc, i2c-2.4.27-1-686, i2c-2.4.27-1-686-smp, i2c-2.4.27-1-k6, i2c-2.4.27-1-k7, i2c-2.4.27-1-k7-smp From the linux-wlan-ng source package: linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-386, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-586tsc, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-686, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-686-smp, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-k6, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-k7, linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.27-1-k7-smp From the lm-sensors source package: lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-386, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-586tsc, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-686, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-686-smp, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-k6, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-k7, lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-k7-smp From the kernel-image-2.6.8-i386 source package: kernel-headers-2.6.8-1 Rene does not object that these packages are not built from source, even though this is the case for lm-sensors, i2c, and kernel-image-2.6.8-i386. (For linux-wlan-ng, the modules packages are not listed in the source package control file at all.) For i2c and lm-sensors, there has been a new upload that supersedes these binary packages. For linux-wlan-ng, there has been no such upload; however, the packages currently in the archive are broken with all available kernel packages, so I don't think there's any reason to keep them, especially since they block fixed kernel packages from testing. For kernel-headers-2.6.8-1, this package is still referenced by other source packages in unstable that build it for other architectures (s390, hppa, alpha) that have not yet been updated. In addition, a new version of alsa-modules-i386 is awaiting NEW processing which brings this set of modules into line with the current kernel ABI. Due to a bug in the previous version of alsa-modules-i386, this package is *not* blocking the transition of the fixed 2.4.27 kernel packages into testing, but it would be nice to have -- there will also be stale 2.4.27-1 binaries to be removed for this package. alpha ----- From the kernel-image-2.4.27-alpha package: kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-generic, kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-smp, kernel-image-2.4.27-1-generic, kernel-image-2.4.27-1-smp This is reported by rene. ia64 ---- From the kernel-image-2.4.27-ia64 package: kernel-build-2.4.27-1, kernel-headers-2.4.27-1 From the kernel-image-2.6.8-ia64 package: kernel-headers-2.6.8-1 These are not reported by rene. sparc ----- From the kernel-image-2.6.8-sparc package: kernel-headers-2.6.8-1 This is not reported by rene.
