As far as I can see, the backports repository is checked by default and
I don't need to add anything in auto/config.
I'm struggling with pinning the 1.8 version of Git present in
wheezy-backports.
This is the error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git : Depends: git-man (> 1:1.8.5.3) but 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1 is to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
My config/apt/preferences contains these lines:
Package: git git-*
Pin: release a=wheezy-backports
Pin-Priority: 999
The same occurs if I add in auto/config:
--backports true \
but I think that this option is redundant, since I see that apt
donwloads the indexes from wheezy-backports.
Thanks in advance
Federico
