Uprading just one package
Hi,
I am sure there is an answer to this in the docs some where but I have
not yet found it.
How do you upgrade a package and its dependencies without bringing
everything else along for the ride ?
I would like to upgrade to the version of gnome-pilot in sid, and keep
that and its dependencies (and their dependencies) up there. At the same
time I want to keep updating my copy of woody without any adverse effects.
From the docs I gather that apt-get can't specifically upgrade one
package.
It looks as though dpkg can do it, if I download the debs first and
specify by name.
Any help would be appreciated, but a reference to the correct manual
would be best. really
