duplicate packages found via sources.list
What happens if multiple URI's in sources.list can be used to find a
particular package? Does the first one win? What if you find the same
package twice, but different versions? Is there a way to say 'apt-get
install <package> most-recent'?
In my case, I want to install the most recent kdebase. I have URI's to
both the debian and kde packages in my sources.list. Ivan's kde
packages are more recent, and are the ones I want to use. Do I need to
comment out everything but the KDE URI in sources.list? What's the
'proper' way to handle this situation?
