Well, the choice of jessie or testing doesn't seem to explain the trouble I was experiencing with the lack of updates. Does anyone have an idea of why I have to choose 'always prefer testing' rather that 'always prefer latest' in Synaptic preferences to get updates? I am also in testing on my old computer and do not need to do this. I guess if it works it works, so why worry. It just makes me curious what's making it do this. BTW, I also use jessie in the sources.list on the old computer for all the debian.org repositories.
