Thanks all for reply!
On my 32bit Systems I am using sid since a couple of years with best experiences. OK, It migth be, that for one or 2 weeks something doesn't work, but that's OK for me. Since the transition of X11R7 started, I downgraded to testing because of the known problems. But I was confused to read "everywhere" (google), that testing on AMD64 should already work and to find, that no mirror provides the packages. Thanks to all again. I think, the 32bit version works fine for now and I wait, until amd64 for testing is available. Kind Regards Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
