Postponing upgrades (of some packages) for a while (days or weeks, at most) is indeed a necessity from time to time in unstable. However, at some point you do have to deal with it somehow[1] and let the system reach current unstable, otherwise you'll encounter a situation that is not supported at all (like managing packages from current unstable with a 'dpkg' from pre-stable). [1] this may involve removing a specific package that is causing the log jam. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
