Versie 5.0 van het besturingssysteem Debian GNU/Linux is voorzien van een nieuwe release, die 5.0.4 als versieaanduiding heeft meegekregen. De veranderingen zijn voornamelijk beveiligingsupdates en bugfixes in de meegeleverde packages. Zoals gewoonlijk is de update beschikbaar voor verschillende hardwareplatformen, zoals Alpha, ARM, i386, x86-64, ia64, MIPS, PowerPC en Sparc. De aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated
The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codename "lenny"). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems.
Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 5.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated.
Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.
New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively will be available soon at the regular locations.
Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list

The Debian Installer has been updated in this point release to offer better support for installation of the "oldstable" distribution and from archive.debian.org. The new installer also allows the system date to be updated using NTP if it is before January 1st, 1970 at boot time.
The kernel image used by the installer has been updated to incorporate a number of important and security-related fixes together with support for additional hardware.
An update to the udev package in the previous point release unfortunately led to the LEDs and on-board buzzer of arm/armel-based QNAP NAS devices not operating during installs. This is rectified in the new installer release.
Finally, it is once again possible to use the installer on the S/390 architecture by booting from CD.

Removed packages
The following packages were removed due to circumstances beyond our control:
Package Reason destar Security issues; unmaintained; abandoned upstream electricsheep No longer functional gnudip Security issues; unmaintained; abandoned upstream kcheckgmail No longer functional libgnucrypto-java Security issues; obsolete
Additionally those parts of the libwww-search-perl and libperl4caml-ocaml-dev packages which rely on the Google SOAP search API (provided by libnet-google-perl) are no longer functional as the API has been retired by Google. The remaining portions of the packages will continue to function as before.
