Apt will never automatically upgrade a package on your system to the version in experimental (unless you use pinning for that). J. Too add some details: The Release file for experimental contains: NotAutomatic: yes This causes apt/aptitude to automatically pin experimental to 1 (I think). Then, when installing/updating apt will look at all sources of a package, take those with the highest pin and of those the one with the highest version. For more RTFM.

Re: sources.list help
Demand a better archive format, tar.bz2 has much better compression. Otherwise: apt-cache search unrar unrar-free - Unarchiver for .rar files unrar - Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version) Just add contrib non-free to the end of your mirror if you must use the non-free version of unrar it should look something like this: deb ftp://ftp.xx.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free replace xx with a mirror near you. apt-cache search p7zip p7zip - 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio p7zip-full - 7z and 7za file archivers with high compression ratio p7zip-full has issues with corrupting certain rar archives but is free software.

Re: sources.list help
Dave Stevens: I went to: http://packages.debian.org/sid/unrar/amd64/download and tried adding a line to /etc/apt/sources.list as suggested at that page Don't force us to follow your links if you could easily provide the necessary information (i.e. the contents of the sources.list) in your mail. So, the page you referenced suggests to include this line: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main non-free Are you aware that this line is for the unstable version of Debian. Are you running unstable? If not (for example, when you are using Debian 4.0, codenamed etch), you should remove the line again before doing any upgrades. Please post your sources.list so we can tell you what (or whether at all) you are missing something essential. My guess: you have only main at the end of your entries for etch. You can add nonfree to all these lines (just like above) and you should find unrar. but get error warnings when starting synaptic. Don't force us to guess what error message synaptic spew out. Can someone point me to a tutorial or explain how to get better information about the problem? Not specific to the problem, but you should probably skim through the Debian reference and the Debian FAQ. There's also wiki.debian.org.

sources.list problem
In light of the recent announcement The Future of AMD64 Port on this list, I have attempted to update my sources.list file for Apt. I have attached the file for reference.

Recommended sources.list for new etch installs.
Recently I purchased a new amd64 PC, and proceeded to install debian unstable on it. (I have been using debian unstable on an i386 as my sole desktop system for several years, so I'm reasonably familiar with debian.) I booted the system from a USB stick with the netinst ISO image on it. (I used the etch beta 2 images.) The install itself went fairly smoothly. There were a few hickups: The install will not complete unless a network connection is available, and some of the decisions made by the partitioning tool seem a bit odd: My root partition is only just over a quarter of a gigabyte large (on a 300GB drive), and I didn't succeed in enlargening it during the installation process. Eventually I decided to just trust the default settings. However, my root partition is already 43% full...but I digress. After the install was done I noticed that very few packages were installed, and that some packages were simply not available via the default sources.list, for instance I was initally unable to install make (404 error). After some fiddling and googling about I ended up with the following: --8-- # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot amd64 Binary-1 (20060314)]/ etch main deb ftp://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb ftp://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main --8-- Even with this I was unable to do apt-get install gnome, for instance. I am somewhat curious whether this is broken in testing in general right now or whether this is amd64-specific breakage. Another package that I can't find is nvidia-kernel-source, though its companion package nvidia-common is available. I've looked briefly through the debian-amd64 mailing list archives and I understand that the amd64 port is transitioning from its own buildd and package repository infrastructure to the debian proper infrastructure. Unfortunately, I have not quite been able to work out on my own just how this translates into sources.list entries etc. I'd be grateful if someone could give me a pointer in the right direction. -- Gaute Strokkenes I'm having a MID-WEEK CRISIS! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
