What's the best way to pull packages from unstable to a Woody system? (kghostview bug fixed)
I know this topic isn't KDE, but it pertains to a KDE package. I know there is something about "pinning". Is there another way also? If someone is trying to run woody (to have a relatively stable system), but would occasionally like to get the latest sw to fix a bug, what's the best way to do that? I'll put this in the KDE HowTo so this question won't need further answering (hopefully). ======================================================================= I was unable to get kghostview to open a file. I then saw on: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=kghostview Grave functionality bugs - resolved (A list of all such bugs used to be available). #122050: kghostview: cannot open ps/pdf (SIGSEGV) Package: kghostview; Severity: grave; Reported by: "Raphael Derosso Pereira - DephiNit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Done: "Ivan E. Moore II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. which looked similar to my error. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122050&repeatmerged=yes had a resolution comment from Ivan saying: 2.2.2 works We see in http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kghostview&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all Debian package search results Release Package (size) testing kghostview 4:2.1.1-6 (121.6k) PostScript viewer for KDE. unstable kghostview 4:2.2.2-6 (160.9k) PostScript viewer for KDE. Responses 1-2 shown, out of total of 2. So, what's the method to get that 4.2.2.2-6 installed on my Woody system? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
