A user would like the latest and greatest zsh and we have
a deb package for it. For security purposes I want to
keep the slightly older version of zsh obtained and maintained
from debian packages as the system default zsh.
I'm willing to install the later version of zsh in an alternate directory,

It is finicky. I played with various repo sources and once did

Back to the initial topic...
I did get an updated clamav yesterday on my home system.
Checking at work with the same repos (except Debian multimedia)
I don't see updates to clamav packages as of 14:58:23 UTC 2011.
0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 is the package version I have at home.

If you run Debian on the desktop, note that the current updates
coming down the pipe for 6.0.2 with safe-upgrades
may include an xserver package update (did for me, and
mine was up to date before).
If you run your safe-upgrade from within an X windows
session, it will cause X to restart, interrupt

I've since compiled postfix 2.8.1 from source, which also happened
to be released tonight. It fixes the problem.

I have a good postfix set up for TLS - to support secure SMTP with sasl auth
from roaming users. It works fine on an earlier prerelease of Postfix 2.8,
and it was compiled against dev libraries in squeeze around November 2010
prior to squeeze release.
I have built the fully released Postfix 2.8.0

Having lost KDE 3.5 in the squeeze update, and not being satisfied with the

Let's say I have 50 Konsole or gnome-terminal windows open, each to a
