Unmet dependencies when trying to install package on Debian

I am trying to install latest C cross compiler(gcc-mingw-w64-i686) from sid repository.

I modified /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

Quote:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib non-free

Then I ran:

Quote:

sudo apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686

Output:

hi

when you change sources the first command must be, with root powers

apt-get update

It is sometimes not possible to mix sid packages into a stable system. Maybe you can set up a virtual machine or chroot jail with a sid system?

you can use a apt-pinning configuration.

if your order is stable....unstable

then.....if packages exist in both, you only get stable
