If you dear to blend packages from different debian releases (stable,
testing and unstable), you could try this. But you are mostly on your
own, and you *could* ruin your installation (but not likely).
You add this line to /etc/apt/preferences
# Prioritize different releases
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 80
# eof
That will tell apt et all to get from stable first, then testing and
last unstable.
And then add this to /etc/apt/source.list
# Testing
deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
# Unstable
deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
# BlackDown (Java)
deb ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/java-linux/debian woody main non-free
deb ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/java-linux/debian unstable main non-free
# eof
Please change sites to what you have near you.
With this you could install packages from stable, testing and
unstable, and you will have right dependencies installed to.
An example:
apt-get -u -t testing install java-common
This will install java-common from testing, and take package from
stable first to see that it is installable. If right version isn't in
stable, it will try to load from testing.
(If you get memory problems doing apt-get, try to comment out some
lines in /etc/apt/source.list)
