Re: upgrading just one "stable" package to "testing" version
Your sources.list must not be correct then, or something is fubared
somewhere.
Try this...
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
then make SURE /etc/apt/sources.list is correct.
Then update the package list, and try and get dpkg first, then apt.
That should work. Let us all know the result.
