Note that dselect doesn't know about the pinning you're using, it just happens to work because dselect calls apt, and apt uses the pin to decide which version to get. Aptitude will show you all available versions of a package, and then let you decide which one to install. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Do I look like I want a CC?

I vaguely remember apt ignoring one or the other nameing style, there's probably a bug about it if the problem still exists. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Do I look like I want a CC?

Re: What is the difference between `Sid' and `unstable' ?
Thank for the reply. Apt only knows what it is told about distributions/sources through their Release file. My Release file for unstable/main has: Archive: unstable Component: main Origin: Debian Label: Debian Architecture: i386 so those are the only distinguishing factors that I can use to differentiate that source. You can see what all your Release files say by looking through the files /var/lib/apt/lists/*Release . Is there any kind od oddity here as stable/testing/unstable are rather temporary synomynous ?
