Today a problem came to our attention after we moved Libreoffice 6 into our main repository.
The problem came for users who were using the "apt-get upgrade" method of installing updates vs. the synaptic/mx-updater default of "apt-get dist-upgrade".
Usually, apt-get upgrade (and its cousin "apt upgrade") are the "ultra-safe" methods to install updates. An "apt-get upgrade" should have held back Libreoffice 6 packages and prevented them from updating, leaving the system unchanged with Libreoffice 5.
New kernels are available that include patches for the "meltdown" kernel issues. The following kernels that have been patched are available in MX-Packageinstaller.
MX-15/16
1. Debian-Backports 64 bit (currently a patched 4.9 kernel)
2. Debian 64 bit (currently a patched 3.16 kernel)
MX-17
1. Debian 64 bit (currently a patched 4.9 kernel)
2. MX 4.14 kernel (currently a patched 4.14.12)
3. Liquorix Kernel 64 bit (latest from mx test repo)
