Oh, that will make things easier (in the event you want to go with testing) :-) >> I'm not going to make any comments about pinning because I've never >> used but just a question: have you considered in using pinning only for >> the packages you want to be kept for a specific flavour?

Yes, if you manually specify in that way it's even safer. (...) > Unfortunately I don't have synaptic. I only have the terminal since I > don't want to use any window manager for xbmc.

Mmm, I can't see such that package available for the backports :-? >> Your first plan seems good, it may just need to be polished a bit :-) > > Ok, thanks. > I will try to again maybe with a clean install again. Like that the mess > with the package dependencies should be gone. Wow... no need to re-install :-), just be sure about the steps you're doing. Whether in doubt, launch aptitude and try from there, it usually provides insightful information when having to deal with different/mixed sources.
