Hi,

I am new to this list.

I wanted to install the latest available Debian packages
but Debian keeps trying to install the already-in-distro
versions. And, unless either I use apt pinning to install
everything from experimental for the whole Debian, or I
install the package manually, it seems there is no way I
can install DbMail v2.x --of course,

I could do it manually, but I would have to do that manually
for all the upgrades.

Simpler solution would be to be able to use apt pinning
for DbMail only, but when I asked at debian list and I am
told that it is not possible since DbMail's packages are
made available in 'Trivial Repository' format (i.e containing
absolute path).

I do realize it is not very polite to look a gift horse in
the teeth, but I wonder if it could be possible to alter
the repository

deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian experimental/

so that it conforms to 'Automatic Repository' format.

Cheers,
Ray
