I'm afraid this doesn't work. The message I get is:
|gandalf:/etc/apt# apt-get install kdelibs3 kdebase

This will still remove gimp1.2, the Toshiba Utilities, pilrc (a PalmOS
resource compiler, which is a command line tool which has absolutely
nothing to do with kde) and xmms, all of which I need!
I would still prefer to have sid permanently in /etc/apt/sources.list
and prevent upgrades to sid by setting appropriate preferences because
this would allow me to have sid's package list cached without needing to
reload it from the server every time I decide to install something from
sid.
Can someone explain the problems I have seen with setting the
preferences??
