Cannot install from sarge-backports
Hi all, been hunting to find out how to install a package from backports
with testing and unstable sources also in my sources.list.
The following command:
sudo apt-get -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org
Gives me this error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-base (> 2.0.1) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
My sources.list says:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-security testing/updates main
contrib non-free
My apt-preferences says:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: -1
The output for:
sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgPolicy=true -s install -t sarge-backports
openoffice.org | grep backports
Is this:
Prio of
/var/lib/apt/lists/www.backports.org_debian_dists_sarge-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages
990
Prio of
/var/lib/apt/lists/www.backports.org_debian_dists_sarge-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages
990
(The rest of the output are priority 500 for stable, 100 for installed
and -1 for the rest.)
My understanding is that I should be able to specify the source with the
"-t {sourcename}" and that any package that gets installed will also
install any dependencies from that same source.
What am I missing?
