3.5.6 is probably in Etch , or backport.org, Sid has 3.5.7. See my first post for a compiz repo for sid. |

running sid alone is troublesome.use apt-pinning with lenny(testing) and experimental(for packages like upstart which replaces sysVinit).also sid means daily updates of 30MB+ and sometimes upto 150MBs :shock:
anyways,below is my /etc/apt/apt.conf(which u have to make)
Code:
APT::Default-Release "unstable";
APT::Cache-Limit 100000000;
and my /etc/apt/preferences file(again u have to make)
Code:
#Explanation: see http://www.argon.org/~roderick/apt-pinning.html
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 200
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 10
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1
and now my /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
# If you get errors about missing keys, lookup the key in this file
# and run these commands (replace KEY with the key number):
# gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
# gpg --export --armor KEY | apt-key add -
#
# If you have a gpg key URL use (replace URL with the key address):
#
# wget -q URL -O- | apt-key add -
#
# If you have a gpg key file use (replace FILE with the key file):
#
# apt-key add FILE
#testing security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
#testing repository
deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#unstable repository
deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
#deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
#experimental repository
deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
#deb ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
#debian-unofficial
deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free restricted
#deb-src http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free restricted
#debian multimedia
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main
#rarewares
deb http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ ./
that's all  now you have to run in root terminal(use su or sux):
now if u want to upgrade certain package from experimental repo
Code:
apt-get -t experimental install upstart
Hope it helps! |

Hello, I am trying to install Banshee Music Player on Debian. My sources.list does not list any server hosting this software. Please post the specific link for the Banshee, if you have.

Best bet would be to build it from source:
Banshee Source - Banshee
http://www.banshee-project.org/Banshee_Source
or try Rythmbox which is in Debian unstable/Sid repo. |

Banshee is in your main repo (unless you're not using an intel or powerpc based system):
http://packages.debian.org/search?su...ywords=banshee

Hi Tristan,
for
Code:
#deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/lenny main contrib non-free
try this instead
Code:
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
That is, I don't think that you want "dists", and you want a space before lenny. More importantly, though, I don't think that you need those same lenny sources 3 times. All of these are the same repos from different mirrors:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
You should probably just pick one (I find the country code option is good, but your mileage may vary).
Edit - the same goes for Debian-multimedia: you seem to have two mirrors of that as well.
