Re: apt configuration question from new user

Migrating from fedora to debian.

I need to have apt use the latest version of cups
(1.7.3) that I can see in the pool directory on
the web. I don't really understand the apt logic
at this point so I don't know what to do so I am
asking.

Running 7.5.0 and have checked the software
sources and there doesn't seem to be an option to
do this.

Thanks,

Perazim



I suggest changing Debian stable to Debian testing.
modify in /etc/apt/sources.list
"wheezy" or "stable" to "testing"

for example:

 deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
or
 deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
to
 deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

after changing sources.list run as root
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

succes,

floris
