x/pixman-0.15.10-i486-2.txz: Reverted to pixman-0.15.10. There seem to be

a/mkinitrd-1.3.4-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt. Added a small patch to mkinitrd to
avoid an error message (harmless, but still) about a missing udevadm.
Thanks to Robby Workman.
a/shadow-4.0.3-i486-17.txz: Rebuilt. Added “power” and “netdev” to the
list of suggested groups for desktop users.
a/udev-141-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt. Added aic94xx to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
Change config files in /etc/modprobe.d/ to use a .conf suffix in preparation
for newer versions of module-init-tools.
Let the psmouse module load with the default kernel configuration, rather
than forcing proto=imps. If this causes problems with your KVM, uncomment
the line in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.
ap/zsh-4.3.10-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Added support for xz file formats to zsh’s completion.
Thanks to Andrew Psaltis for the patch.

a/e2fsprogs-1.41.7-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/mc-20090714_git-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/slackpkg-2.80.1-noarch-2.tgz: Upgraded. Thanks to Piter Punk.
l/gnome-icon-theme-2.26.0-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/libgsf-1.14.15-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
n/dhcp-3.1.2p1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
option.
For more information, see:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0692

(* Security fix *)
extra/wicd/wicd-1.6.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
pasture/libsafe-2.0-16/libsafe-2.0.16-i386-1.txz: Moved from /extra.
This causes problems with firefox-3.5, and too many people are going to
be confused by that if libsafe remains in /extra. Really, there’s very
little reason to be running libsafe on a machine that isn’t a server
anyway. In any case, libsafe has always caused a few programs to fail
for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure how much good it still does
either, considering it’s been unmaintained upstream since 2001.
Feel free to continue using it if you like, but realize that it has the
potential to break things, especially on desktop machines.
