managing packages
hi,
I'm wanting to upgrade the ssh pacakge which is quite too old now, with the version from backport.
after writing the /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: openssh
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999
I've try a:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade.
so it is not seeing openssh-{server,client} as a new version of ssh.
so then i've done a:
aptitude install openssh-{server,client}
and know, I've the freenx package(outside of the debian repo.) which
is gonna to be removed due to its depedency on ssh package.
Is there a way of cheating ?
And I'm also looking for documentation about `aptitude' because I've heard
that there is such way to tell aptitude to install a package from a specific
distribution
thanks in advance for your help
Ced.
