Apt-get wants to install "initscripts'
I'm running a woody system, with testing and unstable included in
sources.list. Now, I get the following:
dlb@localhost:~$ su -c 'apt-get -s dist-upgrade'
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

And my apt preferences file:

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 90
Can someone tell me why it's wanting to install this unstable package? It
doesn't appear that my system should cause this to happen. Is this a
glitch in the dependency list? I notice that in the "apt-cache show"
above, it says:
Replaces: sysvinit (<< 2.85-1),
which I have, but the sysvinit I have is stable..
What can I do to stop it from wanting to do this, other than removing
unstable from my apt list?
