Updated Debian 11: 11.2 released
December 18th, 2021
The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its stable distribution Debian 11
(codename "bullseye"). This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few
adjustments for serious problems
Security advisories have already been published separately and are
referenced where available_
Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 11 but only updates
some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old "bullseye" media.
After installation,
packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror
Those who frequently install updates from security debian org won't have to update many packages
and most such updates are included in the point release_
New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations.
Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by pointing the package management
system at one of Debian's many HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:
