I certainly get no errors.
I know. I noticed that only because of changed behaviour. On a different machine I am running stable mixed with testing. When I set it up the first time I did it exactly as in the APT-HOWTO. Recently I was doing some changes and I changed "stable" to "sarge" and suddenly 'aptitude dist-upgrade' wanted to upgrade everything to testing, ignoring the Default-Release option. Or at least this is how I recall it. Can't test right now because the hdd is broken :( Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
