What makes you think that? > Here's the output of apt-get install build-essential and apt-get -t > wheezy install alsa-utils. > > http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=njV7phnL $ sudo apt-get install build-essential That went good. sudo apt-get -t wheezy install alsa-utils The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev : Breaks: gcc-4.4 (< 4.4.6-4) but 4.4.5-8 is to be installed E: Broken packages $ apt-cache policy gcc-4.4 gcc-4.4: Installed: 4.4.5-8 Candidate: 4.4.5-8 Version table: 4.4.7-1 0 600 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages *** 4.4.5-8 0 990 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Mmm, my guess (as I told you earlier in the first post) is that maybe you are being "too wide" with your pinning configuration and thus allowing other packages for being upgraded. You can cherry pick the packages you want to get for wheezy (e.g., alsa- utils) and keep the rest of the libraries stick to squeeze (gcc-4.4). There can be situations where this is not possible and you require to upgrade the libraries as well but better having a message warning, stop and decide what to do than worry. > So I switched to the wheezy build essential.

I would consider installing wheezy, you will get less headches and most recent packages. You can do a parallel install (or use a VM) and see how it goes. > Or am I missing something? I don't know if this can be done with a fine-grained pinning configuration, let's see what others suggest.
