Yes and no. We usually advise against it, but with lenny you sometimes have to. Put a line with APT::Default-Release "testing"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf. If the file doesn't exist you will have to create it. "lenny" instead of "testing" won't work (unless the bug has been fixed) so will have to take care when lenny gets released. Add a source for sid and try to install that package with apt-get install -t your-sid-package If it doesn't pull any or just a few packages it *should* be pretty safe, but if it breaks you get to keep both pieces ;) There is also a page somewhere that tells you why (and how long it should take) the package is not in testing. Maybe you want to wait for a few days? Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
