Bug#729800: Installing kernel 3.10 from wheezy-backports fails.
Package: linux-image-3.10-0.bpo.3-amd64
Version: 3.10.11-1~bpo70+1
I am running Debian wheezy amd64 with default kernel (3.2). When I try to kernel 3.10 from wheezy-backports by running "apt-get -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-amd64", it fails. I think it's a error with the depends, conflicts tags of the package. I suspect that the backports kernel conflicts with live-tools from wheezy but the backports package doesn't contains the correct meta-data to resolve gracefully.
Here is output from command line:
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-amd64
