The Debian project has announced the tenth and final update of its oldstable distribution Debian 5.0 (codename 'lenny'). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the oldstable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available.
The alpha and ia64 packages from DSA 1769 are not included in this point release for technical reasons. All other security updates released during the lifetime of 'lenny' that have not previously been part of a point release are included in this update.
The team also notes that the security support for the oldstable distribution ended in February 2012 and no updates have been released since that
point. The oldstable distribution will be moved from the main archive to the archive.debian.org repository after March 24th 2012. After this move, it will no longer be available from the main mirror network.
New installation media and CD and DVD images containing updated packages will be available soon at the regular locations.
