Hi folks,

The version of running util-vserver is "0.30.214-5~bpo40+2" ;

$ aptitude show util-vserver

I need util-vserver of version >=0.3.215.  But I can't find it on
backport.org for amd64.


I found following packages on;

http://mirror.linux.org.mt/dists/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/util-vserver/
util-vserver_0.30.216~r2750-3ubuntu1_amd64

http://ftp.linux-vserver.org/pub/utils/util-vserver/
util-vserver-0.30.215.tar.bz2


Now I have util-vserver_0.30.216~r2750-3ubuntu1_amd64 download on
Internet.  Can I run;

# aptitude -t etch-backports install
util-vserver_0.30.216~r2750-3ubuntu1_amd64

to install the package?


If YES.  Then after stopping all running guests do not I need to remove
the old package "util-vserver-0.30.214-5~bpo40+2" first?  

Please advise.  TIA
