Or if you do apt-get upgrade <shudder>
Add the potato link to sources.list and then just do
apt-get update ( to let apt & dselect know about the potato Package
lists) then apt-get install apt.
Then I would comment out the potato entry in sources.list, lest I
forget and do apt-get upgrade, and blow the whole thing out!

Yes, as I said above.
Dselect ? Do people 'still' use that?
