The original 3.1r0 (June 6 release) had a security bug (the box not getting security updates). Users need to manually modify config after installation in order to receive security updates.
The updated 3.1r0a released on [b]June 8[/b] fixes this problem.
Only the CD ISOs had this problem, and I bet caker used the network install.
Just in case anybody’s got the “bad” version, though, it’s easily fixed:

Sweet. I am in the middle of setting up a new image with Sarge……
cacker:
I’m just interested, what command did you use to get a list of the packages + their description?
Yea “cacker”!
[code]dpkg -l[/code]
To list all installed packages.
[code]dpkg -l[/code]
you can specify a particular package with (in this case whois)
[code]dpkg -l whois[/code]
and you can also use wildcards
[code]dpkg -l net*[/code]
Edit: You just beat me Xan
Beat you!
But you win for completeness. 🙂
