Unmet dependencies installing eclipse from testing on a stable system
Hi all,
I need eclipse >= 3.7 to use plug-ins that refuse to work with the
eclipse version available in squeeze. So, I'd be happy with the version
from testing.
I've created apt.conf
"""
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "squeeze";
"""
and added sources for wheezy, complete sources.list is the following
"""
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

"""
which got me even more puzzled as to why upgrade tries to pull in
packages from testing even though I have set default release to squeeze.
So, my main question is how to install a package from testing on a
stable system (eclipse in this case), but I would also like to
understand the weird upgrade behaviour as I'd prefer to leave sources
for testing enabled to receive updates for the packages that have been
installed from testing.
Thank you,
Vilius
