Re: woody: kdelibs-bin depends on libqt3-mt (>= 3.0.4-1)
create a /etc/apt/preferences file, with the contents similar to:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -10
just make sure unstable has a negative priority, so no unstable packages
will ever be used by apt without consent
then you can specify which packages to use from unstable without upgrading
your whole system
apt-get install -t unstable libqt3-mt
iirc, kde needs two packages from unstable
it's not a good idea to force packages without their dependencies, since
they are there for a reason, but in this case libqt3-mt doesn't have any
extra deps from unstable (unless you want the -dev pkgs too)

Sorry, for the confusion: that "bad experience" was actually some time ago
and NOW I want to avoid it from the beginning. [thanks anyway for
telling
me a new trick ;-)]
So: My question was more on the side of
"does kde 3.0.2 _really_ require the latest libqt3-mt (>= 3.0.4-1) ?"
Or: " if I upgrade libqt3-mt can I do/force that to be happy _without_
__its__ dependencies on other package upgrades ?" (and so on....)
Thanks,
Sebastian
PS: I think the thread of
"Re: 3.02 woody upgrade: kdelibs-data should conflict/provide
kdelibs4-data"
(being quasi simultaneous to this)
is about the same issue ... but I don't understand what "they" are saying
... :-(
