I have been running a debian unstable machine for a while but I'd like to move it to a "testing" machine (with a few unstable packages pinned). I know downgrades like this aren't really encouraged, but I don't want to downgrade so much as run the system I'm running now, and wait for my unstable packages to "catch up" to testing. After that I'd like the packages to upgrade from testing instead of unstable.
I notice that apt-show-versions shows that dpkg seems to "know" what flavour a given package was installed in. Is there any way (without horribly breaking things) to trick dpkg into thinking everything on my system was installed as "testing" instead of "unstable," and to have my apt-get upgrades ignore anything that's got a version "in the future" as far as "testing" is concerned? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
