Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2

El proyecto Debian anunció así la disponibilidad de la segunda actualización de su distribución Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny", lanzada a principios de año. Este lanzamiento incluye una nueva versión del debian-installer y corrige varios errores, ajustes a problemas serios y actualizaciones de seguridad, entre otras cosas más.

Como toda actualización de una versión estable, ésta cambia sólo algunos paquetes particulares, así que no es necesario tirar nuestros CDs o DVDs del "Lenny" original, sino simplemente actualizar el sistema usando apt asegurándonos de tener al repositorio security.debian.org en nuestra lista sources.list

Esta es también la segunda versión de "Lenny" con su nueva numeración: "5.0.2", cuando antes hubiera sido llamada "5.0 Release 2".

New version of the debian-installer

The debian-installer has been updated to allow the installation of the previous stable release (Debian 4.0 "etch") and to include an updated cdebconf package which resolves several issues with installation menu rendering using the newt frontend, including:

* explanatory text overlapping with the input box due to a height miscalculation
* overlapping of the "Go Back" button and the select list on certain screens
* suboptimal screen usage, particularly affecting debian-edu installations

The installer has been rebuilt to use the updated kernel packages included in this point release, resolving issues with installation on s390 G5 systems and IBM summit-based i386 systems.
