You can add more lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the testing and the stable branch. That is quite handy for quick downgrades when one of the packages in Sid has a problem. If you ever had the older version installed you can also dpkg -i the corresponding .deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives (unless you set up your system such that the package cache is cleaned out regularly.) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

arts/ALSA problem after unstable upgrade
After the regualar apt-get update and upgrade yesterday, the aRts sound server crashes on KDE startup. On my machine I am using ALSA as the main sound interface. If I Enable the Sound System from Control Center Sound Multimedia Sound System with audio device (in Hardware tab) to Autodetect or ALSA, then, it keeps on starting sound system in an infinite loop. And the KDE crash handler pops up with The application soundserver (artsd) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SISEGV). The backtrace shows: This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash. The disturbing part is that, if I Cancel this starting sound system message/dialog box, crash handler box pops up again, AND KEEPS POPING UP in a new box unless I logout from KDE!!! Its a junk! Using testing/unstable on i386 machine. I was not able to find any bugs like this on bugs.debian.org. --kruton __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Ok, so I'm trying to use aptitude to downgrade, but it only shows one version (1.0.11-5) available for the libasound2 package. In fact, all packages only show one version available as far as I can tell... I haven't found any explanation online as to why there aren't multiple versions available through aptitude. Could there be something wrong with my aptitude configuration or my sources (ftp.debian.us.org)? Or does sid only track one version of each package? -- Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions. Terry Pratchett, The Truth
