Done. They're pretty good about getting security updates out in a reasonable time. If you're using a 3rd party PPA repository (Ondrej or otherwise), the same applies. If your PPA source isn't on-the-ball about security releases, you need a new PPA source. :-) If you're not on a a still-supported Debian/Ubuntu release, stop what you're doing and get on a current/supported version, stat. --Larry Garfield
