It is telling me that I have many more packages that come from unstable then I believe I should have on a testing system. I have set pinning to prefer testing over stable, but I've also installed a few packages from unstable - mostly those that relate to X and nvidia stuff that isn't available in testing (specifically, nvidia-kernel-source && nvidia-glx). Yet, for instance, it says 'tar' comes from unstable. apt-cache policy says: tar: Installed: 1.18-2 Candidate: 1.18-2 Version table: 1.19-1 0 600 http://ftp.debian.org sid/main Packages *** 1.18-2 0 990 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status So, what is that aptitude command telling me?
