Unfortunately, no dice.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
request-tracker4 : Depends: libdbix-searchbuilder-perl (>= 1.59) but
1.56-1 is to be installed
Depends: liblog-dispatch-perl (>= 2.23) but 2.22-1
is to be installed
Depends: libhtml-rewriteattributes-perl (>= 0.04)
but 0.03-1 is to be installed
Depends: libplack-perl (>= 0.9971) but 0.9941-1 is
to be installed
E: Broken packages

Skipping because of failed dependencies
>From Martin Krafft's Debian book:
apt-get install package/release
apt-get install package=version
"Both of these methods have the inherit problem that the release or
version selection only applies to the package for which has been
specified. If the package defines dependencies that can only be
satisfied from the same source, APT gives up."
Later on Krafft reports:
"A better way to control the source archive to be used for
installations and upgrades is to override the default (or target)
release... provide the --target-release (-t) switch for this
purpose.)"
Thus,
apt-get -t target install package
is different from
apt-get install package/target
Back to the drawing board...
