That's interesting, I was not aware that Ximian couldn't be used with
testing; I've been doing so for several months, and haven't had any
problems.
Doing "apt-get upgrade" today, I see that "the following packages have
been kept back: libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgdk-pixbuf-gnome-dev
libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 libgdk-pixbuf2", and much removal of core Ximian
packages would result if I tried to "apt-get install" them. This is the
first conflict I've experienced between Woody and Ximian.
Is there a simple way to remove the Ximian packages and replace them with
the Woody ones?
