After giving it some thought, and looking in /etc , I now remember 
that it was suggested to me that I try using the unstable repositories 
because of a problem with building FPC and Lazarus from the svn 
versions. When it didn't work, I switched back to testing last April 
(I just checked the datestamps on the files). Has the update really 
not made its way into testing in nine months?

Anyway, I'll try your other suggestion.

Thanks for the assistance.


Brian.
