Properly setup your /etc/apt/preferences file to include JUST that package from unstable.
When Sarge was in testing I wanted to use the firestarter package from unstable. This was my /etc/apt/preferences file for using all packages from testing, and the single package from unstable: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: firestarter Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 1100 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian Pin-Priority: -10 I read about how to do this in the reference documentation at debian.org. I don't recall which document exactly, it's been a while. Ben On 8/30/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I am running 3.1 stable & logrotate 3.7-5 as included with stable.
