No problems here, you can forget about '-f'

You should be able to install texlive with:

   apt-get install -t unstable texlive

By the way, in my opinion your setup is a bit too complicated. You would
achieve the same effect with only

   echo 'APT::Default-Release "wheezy";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf

and no /etc/apt/preferences at all. This would pin wheezy to 990 and let
everything else be priority 500.

Thanks! but what I really want is to pin
r-base-*,r-cran-* etc
to always come from unstable. How can I augment /etc/apt/preferences
to do that?

Kind regards,
Andrei
