Are you sure this functionality exists in potato? In any case, I already have libxml1 installed, and I'm not sure I really need the ability to build it. > Then point apt at woody, and run this : > # apt-get update > # apt-get install apt dpkg perl apt-utils fakeroot # explaination below > # apt-get source libxml1 The apt-get command wants to upgrade 41 packages, install 19 new ones, and remove 74 -- getting a total of 27.1MB of archives. This is not quite what I expected!? Did I do something wrong? By "point apt at woody", I assumed you meant *just* at woody, not *also* at potato. That's what I tried, anyway (after saving a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/status, having learned a lesson yesterday). >...
