Yo! with this apt/preferences: ===== Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release l=Debian-Security Pin-Priority: 750 ===== And additionally unstable and the kde debs on ftp.kde.org in the sources.list (the get pin-prio 500, right?), I now want to install the newest kmail from ftp.kde.org. So, I do ===== [avbidder@atlas avbidder]$ apt-cache policy kmail kmail: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:2.2.2-14.1 Version Table: 4:3.0.3-1 0 500 ftp://ftp.kde.org ./ Packages 4:2.2.2-14.1 0 700 http://zeuxis.acter.ch testing/main Packages 500 http://zeuxis.acter.ch unstable/main Packages ===== And then ===== [avbidder@atlas avbidder]$ sudo apt-get install kmail=4:3.0.3-1 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done [blah blah blah] Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: kmail: Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.0.3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libkdenetwork2 (>= 4:3.0.3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libqt3-mt (>= 2:3.0.5-2) but 2:3.0.4-2 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages ==== All dependencies are satisfiable from unstable and ftp.kde.org. How can I configure apt so that I still have basically a testing system (so I'll still have to specify kmail=... when I want this version), but it should then satisfy dependencies automatically (I *did* request an explicit version of one package, so I obviously want this.) Anybody? thanks & cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
