You can add more lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the testing and the stable branch. That is quite handy for quick downgrades when one of the packages in Sid has a problem. If you ever had the older version installed you can also "dpkg -i" the corresponding .deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives (unless you set up your system such that the package cache is cleaned out regularly.) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
