Package: ant Version: 1.6.2-2 Severity: normal
In my /etc/apt/sources.list, I changed all references to 'stable' into 'testing', and did an `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-upgrade`. In the output of the `apt-get dist-upgrade` I noticed that package ant would be kept back. This got my attention because I made the switch mainly because I wanted ant's latest version. To find out more, I tried: # apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true -sV install ant Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree...
