to end this adventure (installing eclipse on testing) : adding unstable in sources.list and #apt-get install eclipse -t unstable >gave me an error "E: internal error, could not perform immediate configuration (2) on perl" it's a perl error seems but was tired to sort it out, it's "UNSTABLE" after all... so i removed unstable from sources.list and put... stable ! then #apt-get install eclipse -t stable >it installed fine eclipse 3.5
