Umm, deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free etc would be better. > Hi. > > I am not using testing - yet.

Sorry, but I question your reasoning for switching to testing. If you have to ask questions like this then you may have a hard time of time it, after all, it is called testing for a reason. If it's just for one package, then check to see it the testing deb can be installed in Jessie, I just did that to pgn-extract, and it installed like a charm. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
