I want a method that will not cause apt to get confused about this and other sw once I install the Sid package.
Specifically: I have kghostview installed on the woody system. That sw has a malfunction, and from the bug report info on kghostview I see that Sid has a newer package that might fix the problem. So, how do I get that Sid kghostview on properly, without confusing apt? Also, where (if anywhere) is the appropriate doc that I could have read that explains this concept? Thank you! PS: I know there is something about "pinning", but right now I want to have (if possible) a less involved way of accomplishing this task. So, is there a way to do it without pinning? ======================================================================= I was unable to get kghostview to open a file. I then saw on: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=kghostview Grave functionality bugs - resolved (A list of all such bugs used to be available). #122050: kghostview: cannot open ps/pdf (SIGSEGV) Package: kghostview; Severity: grave; Reported by: "Raphael Derosso Pereira - DephiNit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Done: "Ivan E. Moore II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. which looked similar to my error. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122050&repeatmerged=yes had a resolution comment from Ivan saying: 2.2.2 works We see in http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kghostview&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all Debian package search results Release Package (size) testing kghostview 4:2.1.1-6 (121.6k) PostScript viewer for KDE. unstable kghostview 4:2.2.2-6 (160.9k) PostScript viewer for KDE. Responses 1-2 shown, out of total of 2. So, what's the method to get that 4:2.2.2-6 installed on my Woody system? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
