Hi,
Changing "a=testing" to "a=unstable" and "a=stable" to "a=testing"
in /etc/apt/preferences, when I run "apt-get upgrade" it picks up
new files from both woody & sid.
Attempting to only upgrade woody packages, I tried:
# apt-get -t testing upgrade
This, however, also tried to upgrade with sid packages.
Any thoughts?
Ron
