Jason, I have no preferences file:
purple:~# find /etc/apt/ /etc/apt/ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/apt.conf.d /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf /etc/apt/sources.list~ /etc/apt/sources.list.z In the very end of this email I'm attaching the output of apt-cache policy (I don't fully understand it, so please forgive me if the answer is evident there). I'm also attaching my sources.list, and, right here, the output of "apt-get -t testing upgrade -s". Note, in particular, pacman that is said to be correctly upgraded to testing, as opposed to pretty much everything else, which is said to be upgraded to unstable (with the exception of perl -- I guess testing's perl is the lastest, but that is just a guess). Please let me know if you need anything else. Zorzella ************* purple:~# apt-get -t testing upgrade -s Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree...
