mixing stable and testing debian packages.
Is it possible to mix stable and testing deb packages?.
I mean, ex: I have libc6 2.2.5-11.5 and i want to make it libc6 2.3.1-1
This happend to me when i downloaded mod_security.c
http://packages.debian.org/testing/web/libapache-mod-security.html
And installed it using dpkg -i libapache-mod-security_1.4.2-1_i386.deb
