don't believe what it says in apt.conf(5) and apt_preferences(5). I tried to configure apt to not install testing or unstable packages without explicitly telling it to do so. I included those archives in my sources.list and set the following in my config files. # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Default-Release "stable"; # cat /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: -1 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin Priority: -1 but when I apt-get an unstable package it installs it without hesitation. I was expecting that to happen only if I specified, for example apt-get install iptraf/unstable So an apt bug report needs submission. but I'm new to Debian and apt so I haven't done it until I've done more research, don't know much more than above. To answer your question with my problem. It looks as if apt is upgrading and satisfying dependencies according to versions it finds in unstable. // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
