What I meant was "I have <package> bla-3.0 installed (from debian/stable) and
expected version 4~bpo from wheezy-backports upgraded.

Of course, my fault. I meant upgrade not update. I was not precise!

Dear Lisi

I am using the ncurses-gui of aptitude. In this gui the packages appear.

With "manually", I meant, that I walked with the cursor to all the packages
and its libs by pressing "+" and "-" to mark them as install or remove. I
know, the dependencies should be fullfilled by aptitude automatically, but this
worked not well. I had to fine tune a little bit.

It should, but did not. I think, it is, because wheezy-backports got a lower
pinning ranking.
