Do you have a list of all of the packages that you installed by hand? > 2)Now that these were installed, apt-get recognizes them, even though > they aren't included in the package lists for stable.

Unfortunately, both give this error now: What do you have in your sources.list? Just because you installed these packages by hand, apt doesn't know from where to download them. Also, why did you tell apt-get to install these packages when you had already installed them by hand? Perhaps you didn't install all of the dependencies of these packages? I believe that dpkg in stable has --force-depends enabled by default. Can you reproduce this problem? If not, can you send a list of all of the packages that you installed from unstable and their versions? A complete log of the upgrade process would be best. -- - mdz
