Each branch has its pkgs list, eg: if cups_1.7.3 is in the unstable or testing list, it won't be in the stable list, so it won't even appear in your pkg manager. > Running 7.5.0 and have checked the software > sources and there doesn't seem to be an option to > do this. There is no easy answer because some pkgs sometimes might be installable; many other can't be installed because they have dependencies that can't be met in your branch (≠ libc6, ≠ libs, etc). Mixing branches can be a perilous exercice; if you're in stable, try the backports repository and install some of its pkgs (but _don't_ use all of it, unless you know exactly what you're doing!) -- BOFH excuse #414: tachyon emissions overloading the system
