(please don't top-post. It's bad for the readability of a thread, and
is considered bad manners)
I really think if it's a simple one-package situation, you'd be much
better off listening to Colin Watson and just downloading the deb
somewhere and installing it with dpkg -i
Or look for a backport of the package. I love backports myself.
Pinning is powerful and dangerous and if you use it wrong you can end up
with an incredible mess of dependency problems.
Cheers!
