A pointer to the testing deb files.
Then I put the following into apt's preference file:
Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 800
Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-priority: 70
Package: kernel-image Pin: release a=testing Pin-Pirority: 1100
I ran dselect update. Then I ran dselect select.
This allowed me to select the correct kernel, but with unresolved dependencies. so then I added:
Package: modutils Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1100
Now I had an addtional unresolved dependency. So I added:
Package: initrd-tools Pin: release a=testing Pin-Pirority: 1100
I got a different dependency problem. S I did a 'try then add' 'try then add' until I had the following in preference:
Package: libc6 Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1100
Package: libc6-dev Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1100
Package: locales Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1100
Finally it all installed!
How can I set up apt's preference file so I do not have to do this 'try then add' thing? How should I have accomplished the new kernel-image install?
