[Solved] Re: perl 5.6.1-8 vs 5.6.1-7

[Mark Copper <m.copper@wayne.edu>]

My problem was to have replaced "stable" with "testing" in sources.list, 
including the Debian security source.  I then called apt-get update and 
then dist-upgrade. So, I changed "testing" back to "woody" for the security 
source, and was able to install Perl etc.

But now I wonder: is it OK to keep the security source in sources.list 
when using testing?

Thanks.

Mark
