When I run "aptitude --target sarge install ...", aptitude doesn't listen to the instruction to install a version from Sarge; it installs a version from Testing. (I have both Sarge and Testing mirrors in my APT sources list file.) What needs to be done to get "--target ..." (or APT::Default-Release) to work?
Hmm, I found that "--target stable" does work. So why doesn't "--target sarge" work? What does it take to make it work? Thanks, Daniel
