Hi Sven, the Wanderer! I understand, that during freeze packages might disappear (due to bugs). This can be an exception, when there is no time to fix a bug to the release date,
But I watched this behaviour not only at the freeze period, this happens unregularly. Sometimes I found no reason, why trhe package disappeared. Even an orphaned package should remain in the repo, when it is not buggy. I also found packages with the same version in stable and unstable, but not in testing. IMHO unstable was always the entrypoint for packages, when there are no critical bugs it is transferred to testing and then some day to stable. To all these thoughts, what do you advice me to install? Better unstable than testing? I know, youi will now say "stable" but stable is sometimes just too old for a desktop (for example I had problems with the installation on notebooks, as the rather old kernel from debian/stable did not support some modern hardware network card or the wlan-card). So, to close this discussion for now, I suggest the following: after the next stable release, I will watch, which packages will disappear, and when and why., Maybe then I will be allowed to bother you again with facts? Thank you for now for your answers! Best regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
