Unfortunately, this is not always true. I do know for a fact that there
are distros out there that did not release an updated Evo 2.4.x with
that security issue fixed.

Andre was not talking about updating from 2.4.x to 2.6.x, but rather get
the latest 2.4.x package available from your distro that fixes this
issue (if any).

More recent 2.4.x packages do *not* include any new dependencies.

attachment. :)  That particular Evo version just fails to properly
report this to the user... *sigh*
