I'm no expert, but I think you just told it to set the default priority for "stable" to 500. Try removing the default-release setting from apt.conf and using aptitude with and without the -t option (I'm not sure whether this option works in apt-get). You could also try it the other way - no pinning, but just specifying the default in apt-conf. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
