This is what the manual says, but this doesn't work. I have: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 200 and I tried to add either Package: libpng2 Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 50 or Package: libpng2 Pin: version 1.0.12-6 Pin-Priority: 50 either before or after the generic rules. In each case, the upgrade to version 1.0.12-6 (current testing) is proposed by apt-get upgrade. According to another user, even a negative Pin-Priority doesn't work. See <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174200>. I also get: $ apt-cache policy libpng2 libpng2: Installed: 1.0.12-3.woody.3 Candidate: 1.0.12-6 Package Pin: 1.0.12-6 Version Table: 1.0.12-8 50 200 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org unstable/main Packages 200 ftp://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages 1.0.12-6 50 900 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/main Packages 900 ftp://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages *** 1.0.12-3.woody.3 50 900 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status (Note: the unstable version can't be installed on my machine because of dependencies.) -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
