Greetings, all. I'm still fairly new to debian, so I'm not all that familiar with dpkg, dselect, and apt.
Is there a way to track the unstable branch for only certain packages? I'd like to install the unstable version of gnucash. I downloaded the .deb and tried an apt-get install, but it failed due to a number of unsatisfied dependencies. Most of these dependencies simply required later versions of packages that I've already installed---from potato. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use dselect to grab this version of gnucash and satisfy its dependencies, but I want to leave the rest of my system at stable, where it is now. Is there a good way to do this? The only thing I can think of is keeping two sources.list files, one for stable and the other for unstable, and switching them out as necessary. Is there a better way? (Also, and forgive me for asking this, but please CC me directly on any responses. I've subscribed to this list and received confirmation of my subscription, but I'm not receiving any of the list traffic, and I'm not sure why.) Thanks much, Richard
