I have them enabled on stable Squeeze system and I know some other people too and we haven't experienced any problems. By default when you add the backports sources.list line, nothing is installed from it automatically unless you run "aptitude install -t squeeze-backports <package>". We have also set backports to priority 500 so everything is installed from them automatically if it contains newer packages than Squeeze main repositories. Note that some people say that this is more dangerous than running Debian Unstable (currently Wheezy) and you are doing this with your own risk. Our sources.list lines: ``` deb http://http.debian.net/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free ``` Our /etc/apt/preferences.d/backports: ``` Package: * Pin: release a=squeeze-backports Pin-Priority: 500 ``` Remember that you are enabling Backports with your own risk in case you decide to enable them. - -- [Mika Suomalainen](https://mkaysi.github.com/) || NOTICE!
