This is what I am talking about. In this case I'd want to give explicit permission, not just let APT take something from backports.org that I didn't previously "authorise" for installation. Otherwise people may fall prey to errors like I just did: installed /etc/apt/preferences to /etc/preferences with FAI and consequently had to reinstall all our cluster machines, because I surely don't want *all* backported packages to replace the sarge packages. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck spamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net "fools ignore complexity. pragmatics suffer it. some can avoid it. geniuses remove it." -- alan perlis
