When using testing, I always left the deb lines for stable in the sources.list file. That is to say that I think rather than replacing your stable lines with testing, you should leave them there and add lines for testing. For some reason, I remember thinking it wouldn't work without the stable lines in there. I may be wrong about this, so hopefully someone else on the list can confirm or deny it. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
