You might try with the versions from Debian/testing instead of Debian/stable. You can download them from the "Debian package search" and install "by hand" (with dpkg). Another way to do this is to change /etc/apt/sources.list to use the "testing" sources, e.g. # stable (commented out) # deb http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ stable main contrib non-free # deb-src http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ stable main # Testing deb http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ testing main This might also give you a new version of lilypond. Maybe even solve 4-. Beware: testing is not stable - Mixing packages works in many cases but might also fail. Also, if you have some "auto-update" feature activated, this will try to bring everything up to the newest version -- leading to many packages update to "testing" versions. OTOH, with "auto-update" disabled, this will conveniently ensure the required packages are installed in the required versions (if the version info on the requiring package is complete and correct).
