-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I have a system running debian stable. I want to install version 1.73 of the transmission-common/cli/daemon packages which exist in sid/unstable. If I try: apt-get install transmission-common/unstable I'm told that transmission-common could not be installed. If I try: aptitude show transmission-common/unstable I'm told that there is no archive unstable for the transmission-common package. I suspect this is happening because I don't have references to unstable in my sources.list, and I don't know if it's safe for me to add those lines in, alongside the deb lines for stable. I tried putting lines like this into my sources.list for all 3 packages: deb ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable transmission-common but when I run apt-get update, it complains that transmission-common/binary-i386/release is malformed, or something like that. Could someone please explain where I'm going wrong, and what is the proper way to install these packages from unstable onto my stable system? Thanks.
