In some cases this might be a pretty high number of packages, thus you might want to use aptitude/apt-get install -t etch-backports <package> This will install <package> and all of its dependencies which are available on backports.org from backports.org. If you just want a minimal set of dependencies installed from backports.org, you might want to install the package from stable first and then upgrade to the version in backports.org: aptitude/apt-get install <package> aptitude/apt-get install -t etch-backports <package> HTH, Sebastian -- Sebastian "tokkee" Harl +++ GnuPG-ID: 0x8501C7FC +++ http://tokkee.org/ Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
