Hi everybody, i've been trying to get this pinning working.
I've got Woody installed and I want to be able to get packages from Sid.
So I got the tip to try out pinning.

I get an error though, everytime I want to install a package:

===================
W: Did not understand pin type �release�a=testing
===================

This is'nt very convenient beacause now I can't do an apt-get dist-upgrade, 
that will install Sid, wich I don't want.

This is my /etc/apt/preferences file:

===================
PPackage:�*
Pin:�release�a=testing
Pin-Priority:�101
===================

This mis my sources.list:

===================

What am I doing wrong?

Tnx in advance
