Okay here is the deal. It will NOT install. I have done as best I can to get everything right for your needs. Well here the update: I hacked /var/lib/dpkg/status and the other apropos scripts to reflect -5. As I had done a --ignore-depend on a remove --purge hoping I could fix it this way. (Nope) Extracted the setup on another machine to -5, moved things over proper. Reflects a non-configured unpacked -5. the dpkg --configure for 4.3.0-5 is near the end. I chose to give you as much info as possible to quarter any other requests you may have. I just would like to get the solution as quickly as possible.
