I'm not sure that I can think of a better way than downloading the packages by hand and installing them directly using dpkg. :-/ Can you readily identify the packages that are different versions than what's in unstable? You can directly download the packages from your favorite Debian mirror; this is easier if there are a small number of them, of course. You also might be able to set up your APT preferences file; apt_preferences(5) says that priorities over 1000 will causes packages to be downgraded. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
