Well you would need a line for unstable in your /etc/apt/sources.list like this.
Code:
## Unstable Sources
deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
Then since you need to use what is called apt-pinning you need a /etc/apt/preferences file with something like this in it.
Code:
Package: *
Pin: release testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release unstable
Pin-Priority: 600
and in your /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Code:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
APT::Cache-Limit 20000000;
To tell apt to be using testing/etch as your default and to raise the cache limit for the extra packages required. Now it would be either
deselct update or
apt-get update to get the new package lists from the unstable distribution. Then you would need to
apt-get install -t unstable all_packages_at_older_versions_here you could find these by using something like this.
Code:
COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l | grep 3.5.[123]
Which will give you a list of many packages including the KDE ones with a version number of 3.5.1, 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 these would be the ones needing to be upgraded.
