Backported Kernel - install question



Hi,

I'm on Debian Stable with the default kernel:
$ aptitude search "~i linux-image"
i A linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae - Linux 3.2 for modern PCs
i   linux-image-686-pae             - Linux for modern PCs (meta-package)

I found that kernel 3.11 is available from wheezy-backports.
~$ aptitude --group-by=archive search linux-image-3.11
p linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-486 - Linux 3.11 for older PCs p linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-686-pa - Linux 3.11 for modern PCs p linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-686-pa - Debugging symbols for Linux 3.11-0.bpo.2-6 p linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 - Linux 3.11 for 64-bit PCs p linux-image-3.11-2-486 - Linux 3.11 for older PCs p linux-image-3.11-2-686-pae - Linux 3.11 for modern PCs p linux-image-3.11-2-686-pae-dbg - Debugging symbols for Linux 3.11-2-686-pae
p   linux-image-3.11-2-amd64        - Linux 3.11 for 64-bit PCs


However, when I try to install it via synaptic, I found that there are broken dependencies:

My understanding is that it should be possible to install backports without breaking a stable install. What am I missing?

Sincerely,
Kailash
