Hello.
Do you know why glsa-check tells me to update sun-jdk, even if it's
alredy updated ?
# glsa-check -p $(glsa-check -t all)
This system is affected by the following GLSAs:

On my system there are installed sun-jdk-1.6.0.06 and sun-jdk-1.4.2.17
(required by eclipse-sdk-3.2), but not sun-jdk-1.5.0.15.
Thanks,

I noticed this a while ago and reported it to the sec herd. They say
that this something related to the way the glsa check works. That means
every new version has to proofed to be not affected. If you do
$ glsa-check -d 200705-23
you find this "Vulnerable: <1.6.0.01". So glsa-check found
version 1.6.0.6 to be affected and report this to you.
Reported it directly to the Sec herd or make a bug report to get this fixed.
Probably you like to ask why a package is marked stable but not be
proofed to be not affected by reported glsa's!?
As an easy work around you can inject them,
glsa-check -i 200705-23.
