I just got hit with my own sloppiness. I have some Debian boxes where all the repos call out for "stable", and others where all the repos call out for the release, "squeeze" or now "wheezy". Those are fine.
This morning I found one box had almost all repos calling for "squeeze", but one called for "stable". As long as "stable" meant "squeeze" I was fine. However, it now means "wheezy". I found this out this morning when I found myself in dependency hell, something I had not seen for a while. I probably got my repos mixed by uncritically copying sources lines from web sites. So let that be a warning! This line, and a similar one for "squeeze" or "wheezy" should help find such problems. find /etc/apt -type f | xargs grep -i stable | grep -v '~' -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
