Subject: Debian Package Updates on byron

The  Debian  Package Update  Notification tool  has  detected  that some packages need
upgrading on byron

The following packages have been downloaded and are available for installation :

   http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/c/courier-ssl/courier-ssl_0.37.3-3.3_i386.deb

======================================================================================

Package Details:

courier-ssl (0.37.3-3.3) stable-security; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team
  * Added special detection routine for big/little endianess on MIPS since
    the line "byteorder : {big|little} endian" from /proc/cpuinfo was
    removed as of Linux 2.4.20, resulting in the mipsel buildd being
    unable to build this package.

======================================================================================
