Either not use proposed-updates or keep track of it yourself. I'm sure you could do an apt_preferences(5) trick to make it pull packages from security.d.o in preference to proposed-updates. The real issue is that proposed-updates is not part of Stable, and is (nominally, at least, since I think Joey is in charge of both) run by different people to those in charge of looking after security in woody. There was a dicussion about this in the past couple of days on -devel if you want to hear from the people responsible. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
