Thanks for checking. I’ve done another `apt update` now and I can also see it in daedalus-security. I can only guess it was a mirror sync/update issue earlier.

Perhaps it was missing from daedalus-security on a particular mirror and then the round robin has now changed me to a different mirror that has the update.

Unfortunately I forgot to do any DNS diagnosis at the time it was missing so I can’t say which mirror it was checking from and this information doesn’t appear to be recorded in /var/log/apt.
