Use "pinning". You'll want to make an /etc/apt/apt.conf file that
looks something like this:
APT {
Default-Release "testing";
};
(Be sure to replace "testing" with whicever branch you want to
follow.)
Done! (I used "stable".)
Done!Then a/etc/apt/preferences file that looks like:Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 40 This will give all of the unstable packages a really low priority so that they will never be installed automatically, only by specific request from the command line.
I commented-out these lines to /etc/apt.sources.list:
# openoffice.org
# deb http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/openoffice/ testing main contrib
I added these lines to /etc/apt.sources.list:
# unstable
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
I ran apt-get update. These files were read:
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main Packages
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main Release
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/non-free Release
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages
Hit ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/contrib Release
OK so far! But, 'apt-cache show openoffice.org' gives the currently installed version: Version: 1.0.1-5+woody.2. Apt-get install openoffice.org reports that he current version is already the latest version.
A Debian website package search of unstable shows: Package: openoffice.org 1.0.1-7 [contrib] is the latest package.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
