>From studying man 5 apt_preferences etc., it seems to avoid the deadly libc6 2.3.1-9 in sid, one could do: # cat $PWD/preferences Package: libc6 Pin: version 2.3.1-8 Pin-Priority: 1001 But why: # apt-get -o Dir::Etc::Preferences=$PWD/preferences \ -s dist-upgrade|grep upgraded 296 packages upgraded, 21 newly installed, 87 to remove and 325 not upgraded. # apt-get -s dist-upgrade|grep upgraded 684 packages upgraded, 58 newly installed, 3 to remove and 4 not upgraded. when all the dependencies I've seen point to 2.3.1-1 only. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
