Yes, that is why. For now you have to --force-downgrade, as bizarre as that sounds. Right now I am trying to solve the problem of 3.3.5Za not building on SPARC. Once I've solved that, if 3.3.6 isn't out, I'll rebuild 3.3.5Za for all the arches I can and mangle the versioning so dpkg is not fooled. > Also, as long as I'm mentioning, the APT example line needs a / at the > end for some reason; otherwise apt-get gives a cryptic error > message...

I have not even downloaded any 3.9 sources. If somebody wants to work on Debianizing 3.9 that would be great. BTW, I notice that I again didn't announce the new .debs to this list. Sorry. Long story short, the latest pre-release version of 3.3.6 is now available for alpha and i386. Hopefully SPARC soon. More details are at <http://www.debian.org/~branden/>. -- G.
