$ apt-cache show linux-686

Version: 2.6.15.24
Depends: linux-image-686, linux-restricted-modules-686
Filename: pool/restricted/l/linux-meta/linux-686_2.6.15.24_i386.deb

Version: 2.6.15.22
Depends: linux-image-686, linux-restricted-modules-686


It would appear that the linux-686 version is old.  If I wget the 
package, it's dated 11 July.  Doesn't that indicate that these packages 
are lacking the latest security updates?
