Hmmm, firstly, I don't you should use 990 as the 'stable' priority - 990 is also used as the manual priority set with the -t option to apt-get. Secondly, if you are using standard Woody, you should probably use the Woody-compiled kde3 debs at deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde/woody/i386/ ./ But to answer your actual question, add the following stanza to /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: origin ktown.kde.org Pin-Priority: 950 (where 950 is whatever priority you decide to set).
