I have to admit, I _really_ need to learn aptitude, I'm kinda stuck
in my ways using apt-get and dselect.
I believe, that "apt-get install <package>=<version>" works as
well. Or: "apt-get install <package>/<distribution>" with
distribution = stable or testing or unstable. No need to switch
to aptitude, IMHO. But let dselect rest in peace :~)
(Another common aptitude advantage was its automatic handling of
orphaned packages, but apt-get does the same since some time.)
Sorry for hijacking the thread :)
If I choose install a package from stable and there is a newer copy in
testing (which I'm using) apt-get will try to replace that package on
the next apt-get upgrade. Is there any way to counteract this?
