Frustrating. Most packages in the stable distribution have everything I need so I have little incentive to install packages from testing. Might they not have dependencies on other testing packages which, if installed, could affect some of the other stable packages?
I could, of course, wait until version 1.43.7-1 is moved to stable trusting that no hardware failure wiped out my system before then. Alternately, I could purge mondo version 1.42.1-1, unpack the old version of mondo that worked with potato and see if it will still work with woody. The latter seems the safer course as, even if it no longer works, it is unlikely to crash the system.
I think I'll try it.
