I don't usually use pinning. I browse the package list in aptitude. When I'm viewing the details of a package, if there is a backport available, I have the choice between the two versions. I highlight the one I want and hit "i", and dependencies are taken care of automagically. By the way, I can also highlight the backports' version and hit enter: then I can see the details for the backports version, including which dependencies will be pulled from backports if I install this package. It's easy to know whether a version is from backports: there's "bpo" in the version. Regards, T. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
