Becoming impatient with waiting for new desktop stuff to move down from
unstable to testing I thought I'd try and upgrade. The main problem is
that sometimes libc6 gets stuck in unstable for quite some time but new
apps get built with that and are held back.
My current apt preferences file is:
/etc/apt# cat preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 400
So I changed it to:
/etc/apt# cat preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 400
When I did an "apt-get -u upgrade" I get a HUGE list of things NOT
upgraded including libc6!
175 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 609 not
upgraded.
Any clues why this is so?
Surely, I don't have to apt-get install the unstable version of libc6
etc??
Any tips would be great as I don't want to screw up my system :-(
