the friend sent me a tgz of the whole /etc/apt directory, and I attached to the first email (but I forgot to talk about it). In /etc/apt/sources.list there are deb http://debian.fastweb.it/debian/ stable main deb-src http://debian.fastweb.it/debian/ stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main and there is not mention of testing.
