When you do the sources.list change, make sure you do apt-get update first, so that it gets the fresh lists from the Testing server. Then again, you're all probably non-n00bs who already knew that, unlike me, who didn't the first few times...

Hi,

I am having a similar problem with installing the routines required to be able to 'make' applications.

I have changed the 'sources.list' file to use the 'testing' method and re-run 'apt-get update'

When I try to install the necessary for make I get:

boot@box:/etc/apt# apt-get install make gcc
Reading Package Lists... Done

When I did make gcc after changing the list source to testing and immediately doing an update to get the proper list, the install completed and was gcc version 3.3. So 2.95 doesn't look right...
