Re: Installing advanced library versions safely?
Thanks for the reply! Still a few questions, though, after trying some
of this...

Thanks, I didn't know that. Might have waited a long time. :-)

Go for it! Some of the docs on subversion make it sound really nice,
but I'm waiting for it to be stable.
I was too, but I got impatient...

First, run this with your sources.list pointing at potato. It will
ensure that you have all the build tools and any other build
dependencies for building (potato's version of) libxml1.
# apt-get build-deps libxml1
apt-get doesn't appear to understand 'build-deps'. Are you sure this
functionality exists in potato? In any case, I already have libxml1
installed, and I'm not sure I really need the ability to build it.
Then point apt at woody, and run this :
# apt-get update
# apt-get install apt dpkg perl apt-utils fakeroot # explaination below
# apt-get source libxml1
The apt-get command wants to upgrade 41 packages, install 19 new ones,
and remove 74 -- getting a total of 27.1MB of archives. This is not
quite what I expected!? Did I do something wrong? By "point apt at
woody", I assumed you meant *just* at woody, not *also* at potato.
That's what I tried, anyway (after saving a copy of
/var/lib/dpkg/status, having learned a lesson yesterday).

The new apt sounds excellent, I look forward to (somehow) getting it
installed here!
