It is good that you have provided sufficient information in this thread to be able to follow in your footsteps as I am now able to reproduce your problem. My sources list has the security entry followed by kartolo lines for wheezy and wheezy-backports. The mirror used for the second two lines is of no consequence. I installed emacs24: apt-get -t wheezy-backports install emacs24 Then apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev produces exactly the same outcome you describe in your first post. I never use backports so am not overly familiar with its operation or how it fits with the rest of the archives. However, this does not look like something that should happen. If we understood what is happening we can produce a solution. (Other than purging emacs24 :)). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
