I think you want: aptitude search '~O"Debian Backports"' This calls aptitude with 2 arguments: "search" and ~O"Debian Backports". (aptitude has no control over your shell, so you'll need to learn how to quote things in your shell before you can even properly communicate with aptitude.) When aptitude has the search action chosen and is given multiple search terms, it logically OR's them, which is not what you want, particularly the search term of '~O'. (aptitude search gnome kde) finds package with names containing either 'gnome' or 'kde'. Within a search term, ' ' is the same as '&' and performs a logical AND of two sub-terms. However, ' ' is not treated that way inside a quoted string, which is indicated by the double-quote characters '"'. '~ODebian Backports' looks for something with an origin of 'Debian' AND having "Backports" in the package name. '~O"Debian Backports"' looks for something with an origin of 'Debian Backports'. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Yea, right. But can You show the command line for the aptitude? I have tried this: /usr/bin/aptitude search ~O 'Debian Backports' /usr/bin/aptitude search ~O Debian\ Backports /usr/bin/aptitude search ~O Debian Backports - all returned same bunch of packages that lets me think I have not achieved my goal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: repos for squeeze as a base install.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Doug: > Where is this sources list, and where do you find a list of repos to > add to it? I've seen that in some debian news - they announced that there will be diver repos for lenny and squeeze - so that people might slightly move from one repo version to another still having appropriate backports repos for it provided. Also, if Yo concerned about it You can look at the link I have provided before and make appropriate lines in Your sources file - there is nothing uncommon as to other repos You are using now. > And then how do you make synaptic open the "correct" repo, or does it > combine all the various sources into one humongous list? Sorry to be Well. Do You mean "to open correct repo"? There pining or extra setting at apt/aptitude command line to use the repos.

Ok, look at the file: http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/dists/squeeze-backports/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz As you can see the file is empty, which means there are no packages ;) (replace binary-amd64 with the arch you need) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's probably the most inconsistent period during the lifetime of a given release. For this reason I recommend moving from stable to testing only after things have settled down a bit.

Use "squeeze" and you will stay on stable (squeeze) after the upcoming release. Updates after that will change little on your system (security updates only). Use "testing" and you will move (seamlessly) to wheezy (testing) after the release. Updates will after that will bring newer versions into your system regularly.

repos for squeeze as a base install.
Good day. Having made aptitude -t testing full-upgrade and therefore having squeeze installed and not lenny any more, what should my sources.list be pointing to? - before it was pointing to stable and testing. Now, as I understand, stable repos as long as it points to lenny, I need not (is it correct?), and I need no more a testing for testing - meaning testing for squeeze (the next coming release after squeeze). So, the only repo I need now is testing, and, may backports for squeeze - is it correct?
