I was able to get the latest puppet from unstable without it messing with anything else. I warn you that I don't understand this all that well and this is largely based on Google + trial and error, but it seems to work well. My /etc/apt/preferences looks like this: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 And I added these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list (adjust to point to your local mirror): # Testing and Unstable (low priority) deb http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/debian/ testing main non-free deb-src http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/debian/ testing main non-free deb http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/debian/ unstable main non- free deb-src http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/debian/ unstable main non-free Then you can run: aptitude update aptitude install puppet/unstable # or aptitude install puppetmaster/unstable -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your "support" entails forcing other to spend time and money on it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
