Look at the example section in the bottom. It shows how to find a solution by manually dumping the EDSP and then feeding that to apt-cudf directly (hopefully helping people to understand better how the multiple programs interact) as well as a complete apt-get call that doesn't involve any manual tinkering. I chose installing packages from experimental as an example here, because as far as I know, aspcud is the only solver we have in Debian that can give you an answer to: "which solution involving packages from experimental involves the least packages from experimental?". Thanks! cheers, josch
