'apt-cache policy bleh' will show you where they would come from *now*, though.

Sid's not that much more unstable than sarge in general, and the majority of sid packages are probably far less buggy than their sarge versions at the moment, since sarge hasn't seen bug fixes in *months*. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
