Okay. I didn't explain myself here. wine was actually updated today
to the current version. Unfortunately, I wrote this message after I
did an apt-get upgrade.
I've been tracking unstable for several months, but I'd like to dial
back to testing. I thought that by just setting the apt.conf file to
what I have it, that apt would ignore any packages from unstable unless
I specifically requested it and the only way I'd get an upgraded package
is if the version in testing changes.
Maybe I should wait until tomorrow before I do an apt-get upgrade in
order to better illustrate my situation.
