Do something like this Package: foo Pin: release a=potato Pin-Priority: 950 Set a priotrity greater than 1000 if you want do downgrade those packages from woody to potato (for the case that you have already installed them from woody). For the rest, I think you can trust apt_preferences. I do have a mixture of woody/sid on all the boxes here my self and I never had a problem like the one you're afraid of. > > Package: * > Pin: release a=testing > Pin-Priority: 900 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=stable > Pin-Priority: 500 > > Thanks, justin > Ionut -- *************** * Ionut Georgescu * http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/ * Registered Linux User #244479 * * "In Windows you can do everything Microsoft wants you to do; in Unix you * can do anything the computer is able to do." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
