RE: Install a package from testing?
Yuck, I'm not sure I can turn html off from the hotmail interface. I use hotmail for stuff like this for the sake of safety. FWIW, I do have html disabled by default on Icedove, but I don't have this email account tied to that, so I have to use the web interface. I will ry to figure that out, but in the meantime I'll abstain from posting again, and... Apologies to all!

No need to abstain from posting; go into Hotmail - 'New' - (3rd item along, after 'Send' 'Save draft') change to 'Plain text'.

On Saturday, April 28, 2012 18:19:58, Nick Meyers wrote: Good evening all, Got a hopefully easy question. I currently have a dual boot system with Debian (Squeeze) and windows. The only reason I've booted into windows for several months now has been to access MySQL Workbench when I'm not at work. I noticed that MySQL Workbench is available as a package in Wheezy, so I thought I would look into the possibility of installing it from there. I've looked through several of the documents available, but I'm still not clear on how this could be accomplished without doing an upgrade. I updated sources.list and did an update, but when I select the package for install I am prompted to remove several other packages. mysql-workbench has a long list of dependencies: $ apt-cache show mysql-workbench | fgrep Depends Depends: libatk1.0-0 (= 1.12.4), libatkmm-1.6-1 (= 2.22.1), libc6 (= 2.4), libcairo2 (= 1.7.2), libcairomm-1.0-1 (= 1.6.4), libctemplate0, libfontconfig1 (= 2.8.0), libfreetype6 (= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (= 1:4.1.1), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (= 2.22.0), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglib2.0-0 (= 2.16.0), libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (= 2.30.0), libgnome-keyring0 (= 2.22.2), libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.24.0), libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (= 1:2.24.0), liblua5.1-0, libmysqlclient16 (= 5.1.50-1), libpango1.0-0 (= 1.18.0), libpangomm-1.4-1 (= 2.27.1), libpcre3 (= 8.10), libpython2.7 (= 2.7), libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (= 2.0.2), libsqlite3-0 (= 3.5.9), libstdc++6 (= 4.6), libtinyxml2.6.2, libuuid1 (= 2.16), libx11-6, libxml2 (= 2.7.4), libzip2 (= 0.10), zlib1g (= 1:1.1.4), python (= 2.6.6-7~), python2.7, mysql-workbench-data (= 5.2.38+dfsg-3), mysql-client, python-mysql.connector, python-paramiko, python-pysqlite2, python-all, python-pexpect ... and so a lot of the system has to be upgraded to Wheezy in order to satisfy the above dependencies. And there's no current backport for Squeeze for mysql-workbench. How hard would it be to install just that package from the testing suite, and if it is not too much trouble, would someone be willing to direct me? It doesn't look straightforward -- there are several conflicts to handle, and the conflicts you're going to have depends on what you have installed on your system that will require updating in order to get this installed. Because this is complicated, I have a suggestion: you could build a Debian Squeeze virtual machine (this could duplicate what you currently have installed, if you want to go that far), and then test the upgrade in the VM -- i.e. in a safe environment. Some virtualization solulutions (like VirtualBox) allow you to do a snapshot of the system before making major changes, so you can roll back to the snapshot if it goes wrong and you want to try another upgrade. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
