I think I have read about some ssh enabled apt some time ago on this list. I
have searched the mailing lsit archives, but could not find anything. If
someone knows of a way how to use apt with ssh I'd really be gratefull for the

Hm, I tried that with poor results, the following in
/etc/apt/preferences works much better for me:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *

Entries like this are not wise, because you will get only the newest
packages in the list, using select funktion of dselect.

is it posible to have two distro lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
like this:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
and prevent apt from taking every package from unstable since it
has the newer version.

Yeah. Is there a way to get into the depe
I am sure you have enough space on HD (like swap).
Just do not overwrite current system. Even if you try to hold them with
dselect, you have broken dependency.
You really need to install new base system. (anything less will get you
into trouble.)
1. Make space somewhere on HD. (move files an

Enen if original poster started with one of Debian, he seems have
installled binary programs without debian package. (If he started
with RH or Slack, things are worse.)
If these programs are needed and can not be replaced by Debian ones, my

Hi,
Mixing packaging system is considered bad practice. I think it is best
not to do. Alternative is dual boot Linux if it is not dedicated
production server. (If serious server, just set up another backup
machine)
Install debian and transfer data (mount partition or NFS) to migrate.

I have a mostly working Linux setup that I have
maintained and upgraded over the years using
sources I've compiled and installed.
I want to use apt so that I can test and checkout
various applications and can remove them easily
if I no longer need, or don't like them.
How can I tell apt/dselect n
