  Talking about sudo.. their homepage (http://www.sudo.ws) says that 
versions prior to 1.6.8p9 have a security bug. Now, on my debian 3.1:

novita:~# sudo -V |grep version
Sudo version 1.6.8p7
novita:~# apt-get install sudo
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
sudo is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded.

   In my /et/apt/sources list I have (among others)


deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib


   So, why doesn't it upgrade my sudo?
