I see only devuan and ascii in your sources. You're safe. If you started adding non-devuan or non-ascii sources, you could run into problems. Without pinning, apt will take the highest available version, so right now, if you installed/upgraded firefox-esr, you'd get 60.8 from ascii-security on auto.mirror, because that's a higher version than what's in deb.devuan.

But that will change in a few minutes or a couple hours. Repo is updating again. (Thanks, Ralph.)

I'm not marking the thread as Solved this time. Let's wait and see what happens.

Re: [SOLVED] Security update delays

Firefox-esr 60.8.0esr-1~deb9u1 hit the gb.deb.devuan.org/merged archive sometime before 2019-07-14  13:12:27 +0100 as that was when my unattended upgrades program downloaded it.

Both the previous Firefox-esr secuirty 60.7.1 and 60.7.2 security updates also downloaded shortly after Debian put them in their stable archive (though they hit Debian experimental and then testing sooner). I see no problem here.

Any idea when we might expect to see Firefox-esr 68 on ascii? I understand there will be another 2 months of security updates still to come on 60 before it becomes unsupported which implies it might be best to have a backpost before Beowulf becomes our new stable.

Re: [SOLVED] Security update delays

This (below) is a different problem. The security update delays have been fixed. The problem you're seeing here is the reason we recommend using the codenames in sources.list.

ascii is stretch
beowulf is buster

stable is not the same release in debian and devuan right now.  They will be the same again when beowulf is released. Until debian moves to their next release.

Re: [SOLVED] Security update delays

I found some evidence that this problem is back (or maybe it's a new, but related problem):

DSA-4701-1 intel-microcode -- security update
[Date Reported: 11 Jun 2020]

The update hasn't shown up for me yet, so I did some checking:

$ apt policy intel-microcode
intel-microcode:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.20200609.2~deb9u1
  Version table:
     3.20200609.2~deb9u1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security/non-free i386 Packages
     3.20191115.2~deb9u1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii/non-free i386 Packages

When I first looked at that, I was a little confused. And then I remembered that I am using a 64-bit kernel (it's a multi-arch system).

So I checked again:

$ apt policy intel-microcode:amd64
intel-microcode:amd64:
  Installed: 3.20191115.2~deb9u1
  Candidate: 3.20191115.2~deb9u1
  Version table:
 *** 3.20191115.2~deb9u1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii/non-free amd64 Packages
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security/non-free amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Okay, so that explains (partially) why I am not seeing the update. I then wondered, "Is this a Devuan problem, or is the problem on Debian's end?" To help answer that question, I added the repository for Debian Stretch security updates.

And here's the result that gave me:

$ apt policy intel-microcode:amd64
intel-microcode:amd64:
  Installed: 3.20191115.2~deb9u1
  Candidate: 3.20200609.2~deb9u1
  Version table:
     3.20200609.2~deb9u1 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates/non-free amd64 Packages
 *** 3.20191115.2~deb9u1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii/non-free amd64 Packages
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security/non-free amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

That tells me that the problem is not on Debian's end.

Re: [SOLVED] Security update delays

Thanks. For some reason, security updates on pkgmaster are going to *-proposed-updates. We're not yet sure why. Until then you can add ascii-proposed-updates or beowulf-proposed-updtates, whichever is appropriate.

e.g.

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
