| Have you enabled experimental in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list? |

Greetings,

Urgg, for some reason whey I type in "apt-get install browser-plugin-lightspark -t experimental" I get the following message:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package browser-plugin-lightspark
you have to enable the experimental repo first, right? (edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list) |

I thought if I did that, then I it would download all the experimental packages and update everything to experimental. Is that not the case?
Thanks for your responses. |

Yes, can someone explain that. I thought to install something from experimental you activate the experimental repository and then do apt-get update, install the app you want from experimental and then deactivate the experimental repository. So why shall we do it like slam shows us, and if we do and have experimental repository activated will it not install gnash from experimental also? Please explain! |

Experimental is no complete distribution, but just a repo to store versions of some apps and libs in "experimental" state. So, if you need a single package from there, you activate the repo, and do
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install packagename/experimental
or, for packages with depending other libs/apps in experimental
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install packagename -t experimental
You may de-activate experimental after that, but it also does no harm to leave it active. Reason: Any installation of other packages (or dist-upgrades) without telling apt explicitly to pull from experimental, will ignore the experimental repository.
Greetings,
Chris |

so no pinning in /etc/apt/preferences is necessary?
I was always confused why we don't have a 'preferences' file. |

If I have installed something like "application A" from experimental and do a d-u, where will an updated version of "application A" be pulled from, sid or experimental? In other words, will apt "remember" that "aplication A" is from experimental and look for an updated version there? |

Only from sid, when the version will be higher than that installed from experimental |
