Is there a way to specify a default release (e.g. woody or
stable) for dselect? I read the instructions for setting
the default release for apt. (i.e. add APT::Default-Release
"stable"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf). However when I add an apt line
for unstable to my sources.list file and run dselect, dselect seems to ignore
the default release and want to upgrade every package to the unstable
release. This happens before I select any packages. apt-get is
honoring the default release, but dselect seems to ignore it. Must I abandon dselect (or constantly
unselect hundreds of packages), if I want to run a mixed system? Michael Stovenour |
