  d/python-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to python-2.4.1.
    From the python.org site:  "The Python development team has discovered a
flaw
    in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers
    access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly
other
    modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the
    register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch()
    method. Servers using only register_function() are not affected."
