I don't remember ever using apt-setup. But look in the /etc/apt/ dir
for files called apt.conf and preferences. Both may have a line
mentioning Default-Release which could be the source of your problem.
Thanks, Maurtis.
Hmm... Both of these are set up
Now that Sarge has gone stable and I have done an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
I am left with only a few packages held back. These are all, I believe,

What I like about aptitude is that it has a text gui, in addition to the

Now that I'll be upgrading my lan's server to sarge, I plan also
to install apt-cacher on it, so my other machines won't have to do
as much long-haul net traffic.
