upgrade doesn't do anything involving adding or removing packages. dist-upgrade does, so really using anything other than dist-upgrade ever is just a mistake. upgrade really shouldn't even be an option. At least for apt-get. Perhaps aptitude behaves differently. Other than that, as already mentioned you would have to specifically specify experimental for a package to install that. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
