I think in both these cases you are being bit by having APT::Default-Release "testing" in /etc/apt/apt.conf(.d). The relevant quote from man 5 apt_preferences is "The target release can be set on the apt-get command line or in the APT configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf. Note that this has precedence over any general priority you set in the /etc/apt/preferences file described later, but not over specifically pinned packages." Both the repositories you are having problems with use "a=testing" as part of their release. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
