I didn't know you could use the component in this way, I think this is probably the best solution for this site at least. You could try pinning the packages you want to hold at earlier versions using Package: mozilla* Pin: version 1.0.4* Pin-Priority: 1001 Hm, the way above seems to be better. Agreed.

There you find things like origin, label, etc. Concerning the linex site: I couldn't access the Release file with a browser, I don't know the exact url, but I could filter it as release c=linex. Unfortunately it all depends on the owner of the repository. I would prefer to depend it on the site address, since this is real. Florian.

[snip] >From the output of apt-cache, the LinEx package is labeled "sarge", which is Stable, not Testing. You should therefore add the following to /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 500 Or rather: Package: * Pin: release a=Etch Pin-Priority: 1000 The latter would directly give a higher priority to Etch packages, and make you forget about stable or unstable. Some say a=Etch is not supported, and that it should read a=testing. I have a=Etch and it is working so far. Do any of the two /etc/apt/preferences inputs I give do the trick? However, one would wonder why you include the 4th and 5th lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list... why not just comment them out?
