Debian users, Is there an entry for sources.list to allow apt to get a package from an older or newer distribution when it is absent from the distribution installed. Specifically, I have Lenny on a machine and find that vlc is not available. Would be convenient for apt to automatically revert to etch. Thanks, Peter E. http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster@lists.debian.org |
