Hmm, I thogut I replied to this several hous ago, but still have to see it
appera, sorry if this is a repeat.
I've got dman's magic incatation in /etc/apt, that _I thought_ was supposed
make dselect check tings in this oreder testing -> unstable -> stable.
Obviously in this case that did not happen.
Her's my /etc/apt/preferences file:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 95
Given thsi, wgat can I do to install the version of gnucash you
are recomending?
