Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 updated (r7) (fwd)

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi folks, sorry for the cross-post, clearly if you're subscribed to both 
speakup and blinux-newbie as I am you will receive this twice. 
Nevertheless, thought some of the members of both lists would find the 
following to be of interest in the event they don't subscribe to 
debian-announce. 
Best regards to all.

This is the seventh revision of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (codename `potato')
which mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a
few corrections of serious bugs.  Those who frequently update from
security.debian.org won't have to update many packages.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
`apt' 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 at:

----------------

This revision adds the following security updates to the stable release.
The Security Team has already released an advisory for each of these
