Thanks Brian,

I guess that means I have to stay with unstable then.  I'll also have to
work on my spelling since I don't have anything to check it in
evolution, since aspell seems to not want to install yet.

Thanks,

It depends on the state of your system.  If you've already installed
parts of the GCC 4 transition on your system, it won't be a particularly
smooth move to testing.

Also, keep in mind that testing will also have to undergo the GCC 4
transition in a couple weeks.  It'll hopefully go smoother than the
unstable one, but there will still be some bumps along the way.

Bug#317873: aspell: unstable to testing?

2005-07-15 Thread Steven Rostedt
Package: aspell
Followup-For: Bug #317873


Hi, I see that aspell will probably be broken for some time. I first
started using debian with stable, then thought that it was not up on the
latest so much, so I switched to testing.  Collegues of mine were using
unstable with no problems so I switched to that.  I've been on unstable
for more than a year now and have been pretty pleased. Sure, every now
and then a package would break, but the next day it was fixed. 

But lately, unstable has been earning its name. I almost lost all of
gnome with an update. One of my collegues almost lost aptitude! 
My mouse has currently disappeared from X. X is running but when
I came back to my computer, and got out of the screen saver, my mouse
pointer is nowhere to be found.  This has happened three times already,
and once, the mouse came back after 10 minutes (I don't really use it
much ;-).  I'm not sure if the problem is with X or what, so I don't
know where to report it.

OK, so my question is, should I go back to testing. (Sorry to be
offtopic for aspell, but the subject came up here). I've only gone from
stable to testing to unstable. Never the reverse.  How safe is that?

Thanks,

-- Steve
