Package: security.debian.org Severity: important Hello,
the recent DSA-1292-1 for qt4-x11 says: > For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in > version 4.2.1-2etch1 However, this seems to be lower than the current version in etch: | silencer:~# apt-cache policy libqt4-core | libqt4-core: | Installed: 4.2.1-2+b1 | Candidate: 4.2.1-2+b1 | Version table: | 4.2.3-1+b1 0 | -1 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages | *** 4.2.1-2+b1 0 | 500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org etch/main Packages | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 4.2.1-2etch1 0 | 500 http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages | silencer:~# dpkg --compare-versions 4.2.1-2+b1 \> 4.2.1-2etch1 && echo true | true As a result, the security upgrade won't be installed automatically using APT. The higher version number seems to originate from an automatic buildd rebuild; from the changelog: | qt4-x11 (4.2.1-2+b1) unstable; urgency=low | | * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for i386; no source changes. | * Rebuild against libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.27-1) | | -- Debian/i386 Build Daemon <buildd_i386-saens> Sun, 18 Feb 2007 17:40:30 -0600 | | qt4-x11 (4.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low | | [...] | | -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 02:42:02 -0500 So this seems to be a systematic problem here that will cause trouble again with further security upgrades or NMUs; the '+' in the appended version strings seems to be rather high, perhaps it should be changed to something lower for the future.
