On a laptop I had only sources for stable and testing. I had also just done apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
I then added unstable to sources.list and created apt.conf: laptop:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Default-Release "testing"; APT::Cache-Limit 10000000; and then did another apt-get update to update my cache. Then I did this: laptop:/etc/apt# apt-get -s dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade...

Why is anything changing? I didn't specify -t unstable to read in packages from unstable, so I'm not clear why it would install anything (since my "testing" machine was up to date). The reason for adding the unstable sources was because I wanted a newer version of mozilla. I suppose I should quit being a weenie and just run sid. I also don't understand why those packages are "kept back". Can someone explain that? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
