Question on backport packages upgrade

Hi folks,

Debian 5.0

On running "sudo aptitude upgrade" following packages have not been NOT upgraded;

Code:

The following packages have been kept back:

  libmono-accessibility2.0-cil libmono-cairo1.0-cil libmono-cairo2.0-cil

  libmono-cecil-private-cil libmono-corlib1.0-cil libmono-corlib2.0-cil

  libmono-data-tds1.0-cil libmono-data-tds2.0-cil libmono-dev

  libmono-getoptions2.0-cil libmono-i18n-west2.0-cil libmono-management2.0-cil

  libmono-peapi2.0-cil libmono-posix1.0-cil libmono-posix2.0-cil

  libmono-relaxng1.0-cil libmono-security1.0-cil libmono-security2.0-cil

  libmono-sharpzip0.84-cil libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil libmono-sqlite2.0-cil

  libmono-system-data1.0-cil libmono-system-data2.0-cil

  libmono-system-runtime1.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil

  libmono-system-web1.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-system1.0-cil

  libmono-system2.0-cil libmono-webbrowser0.5-cil libmono-winforms1.0-cil

  libmono-winforms2.0-cil libmono0 libmono1.0-cil libmono2.0-cil

  mono-2.0-devel mono-2.0-gac mono-csharp-shell mono-devel mono-gac mono-gmcs

  mono-mcs mono-runtime monodoc-base

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 44 not upgraded.

Backport repo has been added already.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep backports

Code:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

According to following document;

Code:

You can also use pinning:



Then you have to set a higher priority for each backport, yes that means every backport, also for every dependency. For mutt, you have to add these lines:



Package: mutt

Pin: release a=lenny-backports

Pin-Priority: 999



to your /etc/apt/preferences (if you haven’t use pinning before, the file has to be created).



After running apt-get update run apt-get install mutt as usual.

on;
http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/do...d=instructions

1)
Whether I have to creating /etc/apt/preferences and adding follows on it;

Code:

Package: package-name

Pin: release a=lenny-backports

Pin-Priority: 999

2)
I have to add 44 packages on the file manually. Is there an easy way to do it?

3)
Do I need adding the version?

e.g.
Package: libmono-accessibility2.0-cil libmono-cairo1.0-cil libmono-cairo2.0-cil ..... etc.
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

OR
just the package-name without version?

e.g.
Package: libmono-accessibility libmono-cairo libmono-cecil-private-cil libmono-corlib .... etc.
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

3)
After finish running;
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude upgrade
???

Please advise. TIA

B.R.

try full-upgrade instead of upgrade

it probably wants to remove some packages

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

It was repeated continueously. Finally I have to exit by pressing [Ctrl]+c

Edit:

If input 'n' followed by '?';
Resolve these dependencies by hand? [N/+/-/_/:/?] ?

Code:

Commands:

  y: continue with the installation

  n: abort and quit

  i: show information about one or more packages; the package names should

    follow the 'i'

  c: show the Debian changelogs of one or more packages; the package names

    should follow the 'c'

  d: toggle the display of dependency information

  s: toggle the display of changes in package sizes

  v: toggle the display of version numbers

  w: try to find a reason for installing a single package, or explain why

    installing one package should lead to installing another package.

  r: run the automatic dependency resolver to fix the broken dependencies.

  e: enter the full visual interface

  

  You may also specify modification to the actions which will be taken.  To do

  so, type an action character followed by one or more package names (or

  patterns).  The action will be applied to all the packages that you list.  The

  following actions are available:

  

  '+' to install packages

  '+M' to install packages and immediately flag them as automatically installed

  '-' to remove packages

  '_' to purge packages

  '=' to place packages on hold

  ':' to keep packages in their current state without placing them on hold

  '&M' to mark packages as automatically installed

  '&m' to mark packages as manually installed

  '&BD' to install the build-dependencies of a package.

Resolve these dependencies by hand? [N/+/-/_/:/?]

I have no idea which of above command shall I select? Shall I remove the BROKEN packages and then install the new packages and upgrade the installed packages? I have no idea what those broken packages are used for ?

Sounds like you broke your system. Post your sources.list.

It's your mono line (deb http://debian.meebey..). Comment it out and apt-get update again. I assume you added it from http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/ ? The line you added is for Unstable, and mixing Stable and Unstable is not possible.

Package mono-devel

* etch (oldstable) (interpreters): Mono CLI runtime with development tools
1.2.2.1-1etch1: amd64 arm i386 ia64 powerpc
* lenny-backports (cli-mono): Mono development tools
2.4.2.3+dfsg-2~bpo50+1 [backports]: all
* squeeze (testing) (cli-mono): Mono development tools
2.4.4~svn151842-2: all
* sid (unstable) (cli-mono): Mono development tools
2.4.4~svn151842-2: all
* experimental (cli-mono): Mono development tools
2.6.3-1: all

You are mixing a experimental repo with stable, good things never happen when you do that. heck good things never happen when you install from experimental at all.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

The unstable version is the latest version of Monodevelop. I'll live in this way a while as I'll soon wipe out this 32 bit box and reinstall a 64 bit box running Debian 5.04. This a 5.0 version.
