Bearing in mind that the packages I'm referring to are only in
experimental, and the unstable line means that experimental installs can
pull in unstable dependencies, and I can intenionally install unstable
packages, but my default is testing.
I'll give that a shot, although the problem is _NOT_ at the stage of
installing, `apt-cache policy kfind` does not acknowledge the later
version's existance in the repo (can someone on i386 verify that there
are builds of the .72 version in the experimental repo?)
Cheers
EDIT: I accidentally posted off list to jamie, and it's looking like
there may only be builds of .72 for amd64 can anyone confirm?
