Hi, apt_preferences are GREAT! I used to set same kind of pin but I think it is better to set pin for unstable below 100 to when a unstable package get renewed, it stays same and eventually tracks testing. (But this is your choice. Nothing wrong here, see below.)
It should work. Did you update in dselect? "apt-get update" is not enough for dselect. This may be the reason you do not see galeon. I see it from my WS. If this does not work, show us what is the result of $ apt-cache policy galeon On Sun, Nov 18, 2001 at 09:05:21PM +0100, Morbo wrote: > Shouln't I be now able to see packages from unstable appear in dselect? > In particular I 've benn looking for galeon, but it doesn't show up at > all... > (I did the update step...)
