Save yourself some headaches. It would be nice though if apt-get dist-upgrade (or a simple apt pinning config) would allow to upgrade _and_ downgrade to one giving version (for all of the packages belonging to) a repository. For instance: apt-get dist-upgrade fedora would then level everything to fedora (and match all dependencies) for the packages that fedora actually has. All other packages are kept (if possible). -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
