Updated Debian 6.0: 6.0.10 released

July 19th, 2014

The Debian project is pleased to announce the tenth and final update of its oldstable distribution Debian 6.0 (codename squeeze). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the oldstable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available.

The packages from DSA 2727, DSA 2765, DSA 2893 and DSA 2912 are not included in this point release for technical reasons, as are some architectures for DSA 2782, DSA 2809, DSA 2810, DSA 2868 and DSA 2886. All other security updates released during the lifetime of squeeze that have not previously been part of a point release are included in this update.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 6.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old squeeze CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.

New installation media and CD and DVD images containing updated packages will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:

https://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Please note that the 6.0 distribution is no longer receiving security support. If you are using the amd64 or i386 architecture and not able to upgrade to the current stable release, you may wish to investigate the squeeze-lts distribution. More information is available at:
