Debian 5 "Lenny" - End of security support
As per this announcement on the Debian Security mailing list, security support for Debian 5 codename "Lenny" ends today. This means there will be no longer be any updates to patch new security vulnerabilities discovered in Debian 5. The dotdeb repo (and probably other popular repos) is also discontinuing updates for Debian 5.
If you're currently running Debian 5, you should upgrade your installation to Debian 6. If you're unsure whether you are running Debian 5 or not, you can check by running the command lsb_release -a. Information about upgrading can be found in the Debian manual.
Providers should probably remove their Debian 5 templates, or at the very least, display a prominent notice that Debian 5 is no longer receiving security updates.

Looks like it's time to remove the OS templates for it too!

OMFG! What I will do with my 123sucks boxes and their broken Debian xD
Maybe I must point them to archive.debian.org
"What I will do with my 123sucks boxes and their broken Debian".
I have Debian 6 on a 123Systems box. Edit /etc/init.d/vzquota and add this at the top:
### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: vzquota# Required-Start: $local_fs $time $syslog# Required-Stop: $local_fs# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: 0 1 6# Short-Description: Start vzquota at the end of boot# Description: Configure OpenVZ disk quota for a container.### END INIT INFO@efball
Thanks I know, but you need to replace that file on each reboot because OpenVZ deletes your file u_u and puts his own =/
@yomero
Try this after file edit
chattr +i /etc/init.d/vzquota
@tux
Interesting idea, never tried chattr for anything. But I will try later.
At this moment my workaround was to replace my custom copy at boot :P
if someone looking for debian 6 templates for Virtualizor KVM just contact me. free only for LET community. (i'm thinking to sell this for paying my coffee and cigar) :P
I felt like a total noob when I broke the upgrade (i've successfully upgraded lenny to squeeze in a dedicated server, back in 2010.. but Xen is different apparently or I botched something up).
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank Matt from vooservers.co.uk for his time and effort to solve this in a matter of minutes DESPITE my trying to sabotage his effort by omitting the right ssh port, the fact i had disabled root logins , giving the wrong username etc etc. Excellent service, best host I've used to date (been through 4 hosts so far)
