Why is apt trying to install packages from Sarge ?
Hi
I have just installed Woody from scratch and want to get some packaged
form unstable (latest Xwindows). I have edited my apt sources and
prefernces to pin the machine to Woody but if I do a an apt-get -s to
test what it would do it always wants to install packages from Sarge
rather than Woody ! I thought with this setup that I would need to use
-t Sarge or Sid to force a package to install from anything other than
Woody. Below are the config files and the output when testing
installation of aptitude.
Thanks
Pat
