-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, I've got a Lenny/Unstable/Experimental laptop that I use for work (yes, i realise that precariously mixing 3 releases is stupid.. but I'm committed now so oh well.) Anyway, the point is that my pure unstable/experimental box at home has pulled in all of kde 4 (version 4:4.0.72-1 0), but my laptop at work can find kdebase 4:4.0.72-1 0, but the rest of kde4 is still 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1 as a result, it won't update, and is holding various bits of my system back.

I wonder whether having unstable pinned below 500, and stable having the default value of 500 results in apt not looking at unstable, even when installing packages from experimental?Many thanks, and don't forget to snip all this ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIKM8cLeTfO4yBSAcRAm5RAJ9ptMp8L+Je8PURnJffGbbNnRiTbwCeM2Ku xn5DQ1e8kE1OTpQuO8qOQfY= =orEn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
What happens if you remove the unstable entry from preferences, or if you change its preference to >=500 and then try to install the experimental packages?
