I run aptitude regularly, and my sources.list includes "deb http://deb.torproject.org/torprojects.org squeeze main" but there are no updates coming through for tor beyond 0.2.1.29-1 on my ppc platform.
Should there be, or should I be doing something else to get to 0.2.3.4? Am I even asking the right question?
With command:
aptitude -v show tor
you can see all the versions of the package tor that aptitude knows of. If you want to install particular version, you can install it with
aptitude install tor=<version_string>
Note that this may cause the dependencies also to be updated or create some conflicts to be solved if the versions in repository are not matching to each other just now. The latest versions available in official debian archives (for powerpc) are: squeeze (stable): 0.2.1.29-1 wheezy (testing): 0.2.2.32-1 sid (unstable): 0.2.2.33-1 experimental: 0.2.3.4-alpha-1
So, add the repositories you want to the apt's sources.list, ran aptitude update and they should be available. Beware that you don't accidentally update all the packages in your system. Unstable may be unstable to run and experimental doubly so. See apt preferences file for information on how to select preferred distribution to be used in the case where you have multiple distributions mentioned in the sources.list
