I installed Postgresql 8.1 backport a few days ago. Today I did an
upgrade on a Stable machine and it installed two *new* packages:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libdns21 libisc11
The following packages have been kept back:
aspell
The following packages will be upgraded:
libisccfg1 lsb-base rsync
Get:1 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main libisc11 1:9.3.2-1bpo1
[179kB]
Get:2 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main libdns21 1:9.3.2-1bpo1
[532kB]
Get:3 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main libisccfg1 1:9.3.2-1bpo1
[103kB]
My question is: why are *new* packages from backports being installed?
I had two Woody machines that had the same configuration, except one
machine had a few backports. When it came to upgrade to Sarge the
one with Backports didn't cleanly upgrade. So, I'm a little cautious
of backports now.
Following the instructions, here's how I installed Postgresql 8.1
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
and in preferences I added this to limit what is installed:
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
Then installed postgresql with:
apt-get -t sarge-backports install postgresql-8.1 postgresql-server-dev-8.1
Should I now comment out the deb line for backports once Postgresql is
installed?
