If you dear to blend packages from different debian releases (stable, testing and unstable), you could try this. But you are mostly on your own, and you *could* ruin your installation (but not likely). You add this line to /etc/apt/preferences # Prioritize different releases Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 800 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 80 # eof That will tell apt et all to get from stable first, then testing and last unstable. And then add this to /etc/apt/source.list # Testing deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free # Unstable deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free # BlackDown (Java) deb ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/java-linux/debian woody main non-free deb ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/java-linux/debian unstable main non-free # eof Please change sites to what you have near you. With this you could install packages from stable, testing and unstable, and you will have right dependencies installed to. An example: apt-get -u -t testing install java-common This will install java-common from testing, and take package from stable first to see that it is installable. If right version isn't in stable, it will try to load from testing. (If you get memory problems doing apt-get, try to comment out some lines in /etc/apt/source.list) /Jackson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
