In slacko the update manager *should* work. But the version is patched from upstream so shows as the same version but a different build number. To get the patched version: 1. Run updates manager form setup menu 2. go tp PPM and use the configuration utility to enable the Patches repo 3. Restart PPM 4, In the search box type gnutls 5. select the version from Patches repo and install 6. Restart your computer _________________ Woof Mailing List | keep the faith  |  |

Has anyone tried to patch Racy/Wary? LATER: Racy and Wary do not include gnutls so no fix required.

So it affects mainly WIFI wireless connections to a router .? The Zeit newspaper article mentiones only two lines . But might be more . I don't know if programs would need to be recompiled that use gnuTLS shared libraries . Static compiles at least would need . |

So what I did two weeks ago was downloading https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libgnutls26-dbg_2.12.14-5ubuntu3.7_i386.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls26 (click the triangle at "The Precise Pangolin" -> "2.12.14-5ubuntu3.7 updates, security (main)" and select the correct OS) Then I extracted the deb-file and copied the libraries by hand to the corresponding locations. The old file libgnutls.so.26.21.8 was of size 79xxxx byte (cannot remember, and are using another OS in the moment), the new file is of size 801644 byte so the two files differ at last. Due to a reinstallation of puppy precise, I realized that reinstalling libgnutls using the package manager, i.e. simply clicking on the libgnutls item in ppm even though it is already installed, resulted in the same libgnutls.so.26.21.8 801644 byte file (I did no diff). So it seems the patched version is already in the repositories. Regards, GK |
