Long ago, well before Squeeze became stable, I supmitted a bug report on a package in Squeeze/testing. The fix didn't make it into the released version, but a few days ago I got an email saying a fixed version was available in sid/unstable. Only, when I looked it wasn't actually in unstable. It was instead in a repository called 'debports'. I need help in setting up apt/aptitude to let me install this package.
This (I think) involves a line in /etc/apt/sources.list mentioning 'debports' . Some lines in a file /etc/apt/preferences. And, something in a directory, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d Or, perhaps /etc/apt/preferences.d The package at issue is gdm3. I feel obligated to at least look at it, since the fix seems to have been something relatively difficult, in that it seemed to involve papering over a major design f---up in gnome. So what must I put in the various magic places in /etc/apt so that I can install this special gdm3 using aptitude?
