I remember but I can't find a confirmation via google that apt-get has been patched so that, if you're running stable, "apt-get package/testing" now meets dependencies from testing just like "apt-get -t testing package" does (which contradicts the url above). Can anyone confirm or infirm this? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
