Dude, before you try to explain pinning to me - which I'm totally aware of - you might read the instructions on backports.debian.org before you out her giving tips (sure you're a maintainer? gosh) ,---- | Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and | backports are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities | with other components in Debian stable. Use with care! | | It is therefore recommended to only select single backported packages | that fit your needs, and not use all available backports. `---- EOD
