I assumed you were using sid based on the subject of this thread.
However, I refer you to /usr/share/doc/base-files/README: "You should
consider the testing and unstable distributions as two sides of the same
coin". Testing is sometimes broken too, and in fact the breakage can
take *longer* to fix than in the case of sid. If you are unwilling or
unable to test, you should avoid both.
