Even then it's dangerous as your first binary package pulled from one of the "newer" distributions is likely to pull in its libraries from a "newer" distribution as well and you end up with buggy unreleased libraries and outdated stable packages. Do not do that, pinning and default-release are both dangerous misfeatures. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
