The potential for trouble is there, though. If at some point in the future unstable's snort depends on perl 5.8, but perl 5.8 isn't yet in testing, you'll end up pulling in the unstable perl to your testing distribution and introducing far more changes than you bargained for. OK, that's not the best example, since neither ssh nor snort actually depend on perl... But s/perl/glibc/ or libpcap or libsnmp4.2 or whatever. There's plenty of potential to get yourself into trouble. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
