Howdy!
It started a week ago, in my inbox, in place of the regular usual emails from Virtualmin to tell me there were package updates, I started receiving wrong emails from virtualmin to tell me there were package updates.
An example:
“Package updates on ns***************”
“(…) An update to postfix from 2.9.6-2 to 2.11.2-1~bpo70+1 is available. (…)”
Of course, when I go to the package updates section of virtualmin, nothing is mentioned. Please notice the “bpo” part in the packet name.
I searched, and found the addition, one week ago, of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wheezy-backports.list , that’s the one calling for the backports.
And I finally correlated this to my installation of Letsencrypt, that I ran following strictly this guide: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/38853
I wouldn’t have imagined there’d be a relation, but the time stamps on the files of letsencrypt and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are very precisely matching, while I did nothing else in my shell in the two days before and after this event.
So, please, may I ask if, in somebody’s eyes, there is a logical explanation here ?
My wheezy isn’t obsolete yet, my web searches didn’t return something particular linking letsencrypt, debian wheezy and the backports… so I’m kinda stuck.
If someone has an idea (for instance: is it safe to dectivate the backports call in /etc/apt ?), I will be most grateful to read it, thank you
