yes, I am using apt pinning. And I think I am an experienced user...
I also run stable as main source and have testing and unstable pinned. The
only applications that are from unstable are KDE and the dependencies.
I had it too often that a package from unstable was broken and left my
system unusable. That's why I use stable as main source and upgrade single
packages when I need them.
In aptitude this is relative easy. I think this issue with kmail happened
because I had the packages from the original kde mirrors installed and
switched to the unstable packages now, because I needed some unstable
versions of some gnome software that conflicted with the kde packages. this
was because the kde packages from the kde site use libfam0 and libqt3-mt.
These conflict with gnome2 in unstable.
Cheers
Arne
