Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated

The Debian project is pleased to announce the fifth update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename "Etch"). This update
mainly corrects security problems in the stable release, along with a
few adjustments to serious problems. 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
CD and DVD images containing updated packages are available at the
regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt-get) 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 [1]online.
