Experimental works fine for prominent packages that have a lot of version number junkies following every time the lead developer blows his nose. Experimental, sadly, does not work at all for important core packages that are installed on every system and which have the potential of causing huge breakages, like adduser and passwd. Nobody seems to care about these. But hell breaks loose when they break. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
