When I want just one package from, say, unstable, I put the proper source lines in /etc/apt/sources.list (and nix any other source lines) and do a "apt-get source --build <package>" If you have to right -dev packages, this seems a simpler solution than upgrading many packages unnecessarily. > > TIA > juh > > -- > 6 Millionen arme Sünderlein > http://www.sudelbuch.de/2000/20000807.html > -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But maybe good is more than the absence of bad. -- Hobbes in "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson
