Also, I used apt-show-versions to find the packages from unstable: backup:/mnt# apt-get remove gcc-3.3-base sysv-rc ncftp samba libss2 mkvmlinuz smbfs libncurses5 base-files libkrb53 manpages libtasn1-3 emacsen-common initrd-tools samba-common tzdata swat libgpg-error0 libreadline5 amiga-fdisk libgnutls13 ssl-cert mailx libdb4.3 libpam- runtime makedev readline-common libcupsys2 debconf-i18n python2.3 locales smbclient libpopt0 samba-doc libssl0.9.8 console-data libkrb5-17-heimdal libgcrypt11 libgssapi4-heimdal mime-support debconf libtext-wrapi18n-perl netatalk libc6 libopencdk8 libroken16- heimdal hotplug lsb-base pppconfig Reading Package Lists...

You are about to do something potentially harmful To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' ?] Here, unfortunatley, I lack to courage to type "Yes, do as I say!" ;-) Will I afterwards be able to install these packages again from stable?
