******************************************* Yes, but I want to install an unstable package on stable debian. It seems like the best way to do it is using dpkg -i. I've tried apt-pinning where you are supposed to be able to use apt-get to mix and match installs from testing and unstable, but, in actual practice, it hasn't worked out very well for me. I end up with a broken system. * In collecting all the needed .debs it takes some time and patience in order to determine which ones should be installed first.Just wondered if there was an easier way.
