It isn't actually a problem. It is doing exactly what you asked: apt-get -t stable install nessus/unstable ... nessus: Depends: libnessus1 (>= 1.2.5) but 1.0.10-2 is to be installed Which translates exactly into: 'use the stable version of all packages, except nessus'. So there is no bug here.. What you want is some new feature that tries to find a set of required packages such that the minimum number of other packages are moved to non-default verisons. That's actually quite algorithmically challenging :| Since aptitude doesn't have the option of doing the same as '-t' for a single run something is going to have to be done to have a nice UI, but I'm not entirely sure what is best..
