Ensuring Iceweasel updated on Lenny

[secdroid]

Debian newbie, but fairly experienced Linux user.

I'm used to checking the Firefox version with the Help/About. If I read the mozilla pages correctly, Firefox 3.0 is currently at 3.0.16. When I check Help/About on Iceweasel, I get 3.0.6.

When I looked at http://packages.debian.org/lenny/iceweasel, it appears that 3.0.6-3 is current.

Running the command,

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy

shows that my Installed is the same as Candidate for both Iceweasel and xulrunner --

Code: Select all

xulrunner-1.9:
  Installed: 1.9.0.16-1
iceweasel:
  Installed: 3.0.6-3

Therefore, I'm up-to-date per the Lenny repository, but I'm still confused about how I can verify that Iceweasel has security patches applied to make it current with the Firefox patches.

The Iceweasel changelog shows September 09 as the most recent update. In reading the forums, I found that security updates are usually done in xulrunner. The xulrunner-1.9 changelog link (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/p ... /changelog on page http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xulrunner-1.9) gives a 404 error.

Sorry if I missed something obvious here. Happy to RTFA if someone can give me a pointer.

As an ex-Ubuntu 9.04 user, I have to say that I'm delighted to have switched. I find Lenny to be fast, stable, and completely configurable to my preferences. I just have to learn more about the "Debian way."

I'd guess the changelog page is down. Try again in a couple of days.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/p ... .htmlseems to work just fine.
