You need: 1) To add sources for "unstable" to your sources list. I.e.: /etc/apt/sources.list: [...] deb http://apt.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib 2) Reload the sources: apt-get update 3) Install the package telling the system you want the version from unstable: apt-get -t sid install [my package] Please pay attention that this will try to bring from unstable needed depencies for [my package]. This can be OK or not for you. If you just want *exactly* foo and anything else, you may need to recompile the package, which I consider out of scope for a newbie. More info reading man page for apt-get and related. Cheers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
