• Limited security support for one or more packages

    From Russell Coker@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 21 06:10:01 2024
    Periodically when I update Debian systems I get a notification like the following. Then it goes away and I don't know how to retrieve such data
    again. How can I get data about these things from a running system when not
    in the process of upgrading it? I'm working on a tool to give advice about improving the security of a Debian system (which I'll ITP as soon as it has a useful level of features) and want to track this. Is there a script that can give a list of all installed packages that are subject to such warnings? If not where can I extract the data to write such a script?

    Limited security support for one or more packages

    Unfortunately, it has been necessary to limit security support for some packages.

    The following packages found on this system are affected by this:


    * Source:rust-async-trait
    Details: See https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#golang-static-linking
    Affected binary package:
    - librust-async-trait-dev:amd64 (installed version: 0.1.83-1)
