Can I search target releases for packages? With apt-get -t I can
install from target releases but I cannot search target releases with
apt-cache. For example, I wanted to install java-package but I cannot
find
it in the stable repositories but I cannot search the testing repository
either.
You would need to add the correct lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
*and* pin your system to the stable release (man apt_preferences).
Anyway, apt-cache does not honour -t, so you need
packages.debian.org, which is at pdo.debian.net at the moment.
Although if you have the correct lines in /etc.apt/sources.list for
testing apt-cache policy <package-name> should show you what versions
are currently available for install, together with the version already
installed, if any.
HTH
