I never said it would be easy :-) You can kind of do this using a combination of /etc/apt/preferences and judicious use of aptitude. Cunning preferences-fu can favour most packages in Debian, except python* packages from Ubuntu. You can then use aptitude to fine-tune pick and choose which versions you want to install. This will probably reveal nasty dependencies of the python packages on bucketloads of other Ubuntu libs etc, but you might get lucky... -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
