[Linux-disciples] Uninstallable packages

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Pinning is done in /etc/apt/preferences.

You shouldn't need to do -t unstable if you have unstable in your 
sources and you aren't doing any pinning.

One thing to realize, though, is apt-get -t unstable [packageName] 
doesn't pull in dependencies from unstable if you are stuck at stable 
or testing.

You might need to install an older version of zope-plone if there is 
currently a dependency glitch.  You can always switch to older 
versions of the repository at <http://snapshot.debian.net>.

Alternatively, you might need to do a full system upgrade--are you 
running a mixed stable/unstable system?  That would be weird.
