Yep, that was the one that I didn't get. Searched again.

I didn't mean to, and when I realized the problem I re-sent to this
list again, with a bit more information.

The problem is I don't have a workflow. This is the first time I'm
doing the library transition, and so far all my attempts are failing.
So maybe instead of me describing my incorrect workflow, would be OK
for you to lay out what exactly I should be doing?
All in all, I must test packages from experimental, any you seems to
suggest it is impossible -- "there is no way to test anything else",
"This cannot test packages from experimental".
What's the correct approach? Thx!
