On October 2, mandrake issues a security advisory and update for fetchmail.

On October 9, mandrake issues a security advisour and update for kde-libs

On October 10, mandrake issues a security advisory and udate for zip

On October 10, mandrake issues a security advisory and udate for tar

 

All of these advisories state "To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate." Yet, everyday since October 2, I have been running mandrake update to do just this and yet none of these files are ever listed. I checked my installed versions, and all are in need of updating.

 

Yes, I know I can search out a mirror, go thru about 15 web screens and finally find the files and do the update manually.

 

So what is the point of MandrakeUpdate if MD doesn't make the files available for it?
