We hope it's safe to install, but XFree86 3.3.3 is still in unstable branch in debian-jp, so it's not yet much tested. > What about put a line in > /etc/apt/sources.list > to point to Debian Japan? You can use deb ftp://ftp.debian.or.jp/debian-jp stable-jp main contrib non-free or deb http://www.debian.or.jp/debian-jp stable-jp main contrib non-free Note that in stable-jp, there is the package with the same name of the Debian hamm, IIRC libc6 with wcsmbs, man-db and so on, so be careful to add stable-jp to your apt list. Of course, you may replace stable-jp with frozen-jp (== slink-jp for slink) or unstable-jp (== potato-jp for potato), and AFAIK frozen-jp and/or unstable-jp does not contain the package with the same name of the Debian slink and/or potato, so there is any problem like stable-jp, I think. We've plan to release slink-jp, that is, change slink-jp from frozen-jp to stable-jp, within atmost 1 month after slink is released. Regards, Fumitoshi UKAI / Debian JP Project
