Hello Andreas, thanks for the reply! The problem with adding mpv's dependencies to list.pref.chroot is that the same error will occur again for the dependencies of those dependencies.
libasound2t64 : Depends: libasound2-data (>= 1.2.12-1) but 1.2.8-1 is to be installed libavcodec61 : Depends: libcodec2-1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not installable Depends: libdav1d7 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not installable Depends: libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.12.0) but it is not installable Depends: libjxl0.9 (>= 0.8.0) but it is not installable Depends: librav1e0.7 (>= 0.5.1) but it is not installable Depends: libsnappy1v5 (>= 1.2.1) but 1.1.9-3 is to be installed Depends: libsvtav1enc2 (>= 2.1.0+dfsg) but it is not installable Depends: libvpl2 (>= 2023.3.0) but 2023.1.1-1 is to be installed Depends: libvpx9 (>= 1.12.0) but it is not installable Depends: libwebp7 (>= 1.4.0) but 1.2.4-0.2+deb12u1 is to be installed Depends: libwebpmux3 (>= 1.4.0) but 1.2.4-0.2+deb12u1 is to be installed Depends: libx264-164 (>= 2:0.164.3108+git31e19f9) ............ I tracked down every single dependency (and their dependencies) with this: apt-cache depends --recurse --no-recommends --no-suggests --no-conflicts --no-breaks --no-replaces --no-enhances mpv | grep "^\w" | sort -u Then I added them to list.pref.chroot but the error always comes back for something else. Package: mpv libasound2t64 libavcodec61 libavdevice61 libavfilter10 libavformat61 ....... I found a dirty fix with a live.chroot.hook that installs mpv from unstable and includes the correct dependencies from unstable too: apt-get install -y mpv/unstable But that's not a solution. I would really like to understand why APT Pinning does not or cannot include the dependencies of a package from the release it is pinned to. Doesn't even make any sense tbh.
