I had a similar problem, and so I appreciate this information. But my understanding is still a bit shaky. Could someone point me to an appropriate doc which explains why `APT::Default-Release "stable";' has to be removed from /etc/apt/apt.conf' in order for the downgrade to take place? ... or else perhaps could someone post a short explanation here? Since we are talking about downgrading to `stable', I don't understand why the presence of `APT::Default-Release "stable";' would prevent that.
