Debian 4.0 Etch updates

Shortly before the release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" expected on Valentine's Day, the Debian developers have released another update to Debian 4.0 "Etch". The update comes only 7 weeks after the last update. Changes in Debian 4.0.r7 mainly include security updates and other bug fixes.

As usual, not much will change for the users of regularly updated Debian Etch systems. Many users have already installed most of the Debian Security Teams bug fixes over the last few weeks. A complete list of changes can be found here.

The CD and DVD images have not yet been updated and posted. The mirrors are still listing Debian 4.0.r6 as the most recent release.
