If you think you want to be back at "testing". Edit /etc/apt/preferences and set Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1005 Then downgrade them. Another way is use /var/bckup/dpkg.status.0 or similar... -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D .
