I know that, but I've been stuck on it for about 10 years now and can never seem to find my way off. Mostly it does what I want for my desktop machine although occassionally we get these little hickups where things break. Normally they are short lived, but this one seems different. I am much more comfortable with what I have now and have been thinking of jumping into testing and then letting it slide towards the next stable release.Le 30.11.2012 18:43, Alan Chandler a écrit :I am trying to install virt-manager on sid, but I am getting a dependancy blockage which I don't understand virt-manager ultimately depends on libvirt0 - which seems to have version (0.9.12-5) in the sid repository libvirt0 depends on libnetcf1 - however libnetcf1 says it needs at least 0.10.1-2 I can see that experimental has that version, but its does not seem to be able to get into sid. I am not sure why Is there a freeze or something on.Hum. Let me say, first, that my words will *NOT* be very accurate, because for some reasons I am not in my "usual mind". It includes acid words, but, please, do not take care of that.This said, I will try to explain what I think is your problem. YOU ARE USING SID!!!!Sid is the broken version of Debian, you should know that. The easiest solution for you is to use apt-pinning, which means things can be broken quite often.
What stops me is the fact that stuff never completely works and I end up deciding it will get fixed more quickly in sid.
I like to run stable debian on my servers (although I have been conned by needing a an up to date mythtv backend into using ubuntu-server. I am appalled by how often it needs a reboot, but I am not sure how I can find my way back without some major disruption)
I understand apt-pinning - I did it before in a situation like this, so I will probably set that up nextNow, should I describe apt-pinning?
