How to reconfigure apt sources?
I found a solution among some of the threads that suggest apt-setup, which will allow me to reselect my apt sources. However, after doing a 'aptitude upgrade and dist-upgrade', my apt-setup disappears from my system. (I was able to run apt-setup just after doing a CD installation to get some http sources).
Is there any other way to reconfigure the apt sources besides apt-setup or anyone with suggestion on how to install apt-setup? apt-setup cannot be found with 'aptitude search'.
Thanks !
PS. Running Debian 'Testing'

base-config lets you select sources.
Also, you could manualy edit your sources file which is /etc/apt/sources.

I forgot to mention before that if you do use base-config to select your sources you will have to manualy set the sources to testing in /etc/apt/sources.

It's /etc/apt/sources.list
. Just a helpful correction 
.
You probably would have figured that out though when you checked the /etc/apt directory though.
