Usage

To use these packages, please perform the following steps:

1. Import the archive key:

   wget -O- http://debian.incertum.net/cite-backports.gpg | apt-key add -
   

2. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

   deb http://debian.incertum.net/ cite-backports experimental
   

   If you need the latest stable versions of postfix:

   deb http://debian.incertum.net/ postfix-lenny-backports experimental
   

3. If you want sources, you have to further add:

   deb-src http://debian.incertum.net/ cite-backports experimental
   

   to your /etc/apt/sources.list. If you need sources of the latest stable versions of postfix:

   deb-src http://debian.incertum.net/ postfix-lenny-backports experimental

Troubleshooting

Q: Why does aptitue (apt-get) want to upgrade several of my installed packages to versions from your repository, even without the "-t cite-backports" switch?

rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
apt-get update

Q: Why does apt-get source get source from your repository? Why does apt-get -t cite-backports source spit out an error?
