Hi,
Upgraded to 10.10 with update-manager last night, apart from an xorg.conf.d location change and a custom xfce applet that needed recompiling all went smoothly... until I tried another dist-upgrade.
Previous I had debian lenny and squeeze available in apt - I know this is dumb but a sync program I use requires binary versions to be identical (unison), and I sync with a debian squeeze server.
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile/ lenny/volatile main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-security/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
I got around this by pinning stable and testing to a negative value in /etc/apt/preferences.d/debian:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: -90
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -85
Package: unison
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1100
This worked marvellously in lucid, but maverick apt no longer respects these for some reason:
