*** Please type your report below this line *** When I set up a new i486-system (i.e.32-bit-PC) yesterday, I had to add backported packages manually and take care about pinning the backports correctly, so that they are prioritzed over normal otherwise stable packages. When using Xubuntu 12.04.1-alternate in expert-mode, the user is asked, If backported software should be included in the installation, in fact this is even the default there, if you just press 'Enter' at every question asked. Probably using backported packages should not be the default in debian, but at least for expert-installations the user should be asked wether backported packages should be included or not and there should be taken care about appropriate pinning of those packages, I set them to a priority of 1001, which was fine. In Ubuntu LTS the 3.5-series Quantal-kernel will even be made the default in favour of 3.2 and it will be distributed as a security/stability update. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.23ldt (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlEGUHcACgkQ5+rBHyUt5wuJTgCgrVxn/H5lB6MiFX8iTAIlV0kK T7cAnjfIK5uaJ2izT5hLhYjfZmGjRD1l =tdJM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
