I don't have a file there, I have a preferences.d, and its empty.

Which is as far as I got since the needed updated version of python-pivy
isn't available even from sloppy, and neither is the newer version of
libsoqt4-20 (1.6.0~e8310f-1~bpo70+1
Now, with sloppy added, let me rerun the command above to see if there
are any diffs, as marking freecad turns the button red yet from unresolved
dependencies.
No, same results, and wheezy-backports-sloppy is not mentioned in the
results, so I won't further abuse the list with my drivel, other than
to ask if sloppy has anything but "main" as thats all that has content
actually listed under origins.

Which it do doubt needs as I'm sure there are essentially duplicates
in there now.
