Since Axel didn't stop me, and although it's not recommended, I went to Debian's 'sid' download page, downloaded the three files that seemed relevant -rw-r--r-- 1 771992 2015-09-07_17:15:17 zsh_5.1-1_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 3276150 2015-09-07_17:18:53 zsh-common_5.1-1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 2543930 2015-09-07_17:45:25 zsh-doc_5.1-1_all.deb ... and installed them with dpkg -i. dpkg -c shows me all the files, so I could easily then detect orphan stuff, of which there was quite a bit. Then, fiddle with links, and so far so good. > Well, I'm inclined to stay close to Mother's skirts in this ;-) > > Without fooling around with any files, can I do this: > > aptitude install -t unstable zsh > or > aptitude update -t unstable zsh > That' doesn't work unless the package lists for 'sid' are installed, and since I don't want anything but zsh from there, I didn't do that. One thing: "$ echo $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL" shows: "debian", which isn't very informative. Is that correct? BTW I noticed something cool: every file in the packages is either in a directory "zsh*" or has "zsh*" in its name, which is quite useful for finding stuff. If I'm not mistaken.
