Cool,Abhas Thanks

Just added that line to my sources.list and did apt-get update.I ended
up with this error.

####Apt-get update Error #####
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing oroborus (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary_universe_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

######################################################################################
Wonder whether I have to increase my apt cache limit, currently
its(APT::Cache-Limit 10000000).Darn, isn't that enough ;o<

Or its just some conflict with oroborus package.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ apt-cache policy oroborus
oroborus:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.0.13-1
  Version Table:
     2.0.13-1 0
        990 http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp testing/main Packages
        600 http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp unstable/main Packages

I agree, but what kind of Pin-Priority you have, do you give more
priority to Debian (unstable,experimental) packages or Ubuntu's  vice
versa or just use individual package priority (for example, use OO
package from Ubuntu rather than debian).Can you post your apt preference
file.

> Hope this helps,
 You bet.

Cheers, hope am not asking for a lot.
