Put this in /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pon-Priority: 1001 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 100 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 200 Then apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. When a distribution has a priority over 1000 then apt will downgrade packages to get to that distribution.
