If you let the package manager see that there's testing packages available to it, it will see that they are newer than the ones it already has installed and so updates them. But on a testing system, if you change sources,list to indicate there are stable packages available, it will quickly realize they have lower version numbers than the ones already installed, and so it will not update anything. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
