Well after changing all of the lines in my sources.list from etch to testing, I'm getting an error.It won't break. However, with Etch frozen, testing hasn't been getting an infusion of stuff from Sid that is otherwise ready for testing. Once Etch is stable, AIUI, testing (Lenny) will start to receive the backlog from Sid. So there will be burst of activity, if you will, just after Etch goes stable. Doug.
