i wonder if it is as simple as changing the word stable to testing?
yes
run:
cat /etc/debian_version
A response "3.0" means you are using testing, i.e. woody.
Stable is 2.2.
If you are using testing and your /etc/apt/sources.list URLs read like
the ones below, edit the file and change "stable" to read "woody"
that is interesting, because as you see, i have stable in
apt-get sources, and /etc/debian_version reports 3.0
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://download.sourceforge.net/debian stable main contrib non-free
The stuff in /var/lib/dpkg is used by dpkg to keep track of what
packages are installed. Configuration files for apt and dpkg are in
/etc.
man pages will tell you where configuration files are located.
really? jk, i am aware, just lazy, and yes, that is what i
said, i have stable as my source and my deb_version is 3.0
i am on a somewhat fresh install, used i386 6 diskette
install
uh, i have run potato before, this is definately not potato
forgive me if i am a bit leary of changing stable to testing
as much of my software is running beautifly
