Hi!
I recently reinstalled debian stable on my box, but I would like to run
some packages from testing. But after the reinstall I can't install
anything from the testing repository, I get messages of dependencies
that can't be met for everything. I have searched google and the man
pages for apt-* and dpkg for a clue but I havent found anything. Does
anyone now what's going on on or where I should look for a solution?

This is my /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -1
^^
$ man apt_preferences 2>/dev/null | grep -A 1 'P < 0'
P < 0
prevents the version from being installed
My face is currently taking on a crimson colour ;-) I've discovered the
problem isn't with apt, I just hadn't tested with enough packages. So
the problem only lies with the particular packages I tried to install
from testing.
It didn't make any difference if I changed priority of testing to > -1
though.
