So if you use DEB -- DON'T apt-get anything and if possible uninstall
anything from the last few days! Since they found the problem and have
taken the affected machines offline, things are probably okey, but you can
never be too sure.

Much as I love debian, this kind of OS distrobution has it's drawbacks.
