Debian 6.0 -- Errata

Security issues

Debian 6.0 'Squeeze' has reached the end of its regular security support timeline. However, the Squeeze LTS team provides continued security support for this distribution.

Note that these updates are not distributed through the regular security mirrors; instead you need to add the squeeze-lts repository to make use of them.

If you use APT, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to access the latest security updates:

  deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free

After that, run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.

Point releases

Sometimes, in the case of several critical problems or security updates, the released distribution is updated. Generally, these are indicated as point releases.

See the ChangeLog for details on changes between 6.0.0 and 6.0.10.

Fixes to the released stable distribution often go through an extended testing period before they are accepted into the archive. However, these fixes are available in the dists/squeeze-proposed-updates directory of any Debian archive mirror.

If you use APT to update your packages, you can install the proposed updates by adding the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

  # proposed additions for a 6.0 point release
  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze-proposed-updates main contrib non-free

After that, run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.
