You are miss-reading the part you quoted. It refers to a choice between two sources that have the SAME files. Since experimental will by defininition always have newer files it will be used. It is working as it was designed and these feature will not change. Some new support for handling the generic case of selecting from multiple version choices may appear at a later date. There are other problems that prohib the use of experimental with APT, I do -NOT- recommend that anyone do it. Jason
