Question about - apt-get upgrade

Hi all, I've got a general question concerning apt-get - what would be the reason(s) for the below message when I upgrade my packages? Do I need to do an apt-get upgrade again at a later time, or is there something I need to do right away to get it to install? I somehow was wondering if it's

Question about apt and pinning

Hi, I've a little question about apt-pinning. I'm running debian testing and when running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' apt tells me that it wants to remove packet 'xmaxima'. This is quite logical, since currently xmaxima is out of the testing. To prevent this I wrote in /etc/apt/preferences file

Re: Question about apt and pinning

Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 100 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 1 Package: xmaxima Pin: version * Pin-Priority: 1200 Still when running 'apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade' I get that

Question about apt, apt-proxy, Sarge and testing

I have a setup in which one of my Debian computers maintains an apt-proxy, and all the computers on my LAN, point their apt_sources.list to that proxy. I am running Sarge on all the computers. It has worked very nicely, but I notice something that I don't like, and I don't know how to fix, or even

Question about apt-move

Hello List, I've created my apt-get repository the way I want it. I can add Debian packages to my heart's content. But I'm wondering what is the proper way to remove packages from my apt-get repository. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -- Rick King Unix Messaging Team, Boise ID

question about apt and slink-potato

I seem to be missing the man pages for apt-get on my slink box so I wondered for all intents and purposes what's the actual difference between doing apt-get dist-upgrade and just using dselect on a box where all the sources use the term 'stable' instead of 'slink' after potato has gone
