Hello! Please don't top-post, it kills the reading flow. True, many MUAs set the cursor to the top of the message being edited, but that's just so the user can weed out unneeded lines starting from top.

Using "-t" just pins the given $flavor to 990, so unless some other pinning has been applied this will install packages from the given $flavor. BTW quoting the Debian FAQ: "project/experimental/: This directory contains packages and tools which are still being developed, and are still in the alpha testing stage. Users shouldn't be using packages from here, because they can be dangerous and harmful even for the most experienced people." So expect things to go seriously wrong there... ;) Cheers, Flo
