Did you use /etc/apt/preference (man apt_preference) to choose ximin
over debian ? (Not that I did...) And listed all sorces in
/etc/apt/sources.list?
To check situation in those environment,
$ apt-cache showpkg package|less
$ apt-cache show -a package|less
aere usefull to find out situation.
Mixing source is advanced topic which I did not now until recently. You
need APT from woody or newer to do so. Its kind of neat to do things
like:
# apt-get install one-package/unstable another/testing
Of course one have to be carefull about dependencies. I am learning
this thoing now. Best source of information is:
#apt-get install apt-howto/unstable
