Re: Upgrade to etch save?



FWIW, when I did upgrades from woody to sarge (where we had many and varied 
backports due to woody's great age), I set /etc/apt/preferences to:

Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge
Pin-Priority: 1001


which had the effect of downgrading those backports whose versions were newer 
than sarge's.

Cheers,

Ralph
