Re: Software-upgrades not installable due to APT-misconfiguration ?
Backports has 3.2, which according to http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/01/msg00012.html is going to be the next stable kernel ;) First I would suggest you install 3.2 from backports, reboot to use it and then remove any trace of testing/wheezy from your system (apt-show-versions is good for this, or aptitude if you know the search patterns). Also remove the pin and the sources.list entry. If your system still won't upgrade cleanly after this please post 'apt-cache policy' output for each of the packages to be upgraded. BTW, it helps a lot if you keep output formating. If you mail client pretends to know better you can output to a file and attach it instea: $ apt-cache policy foo foo.policy # and attach foo.policy Hope this helps, Andrei O.K., thanks a lot. I had problems using 'gmane' and could not find this thread at once, switched to the 'flat'-interface then and try replying through it now, too. It appeared to me already that a 3.2. Kernel was available from backports.debian.org., but I was going to wait, until it arrives in 'wheezy'. News reached me already, that all user 'must' upgrade from 3.1. to 3.2., as this is going the new Ubuntu-longterm-supported kernel. So I suppose, Squeeze is oing to come with a 3.2.x kernel, too. Will remove any connections to 'wheezy' now from this productive-use machine´s configuration files.

Kind of redundant now that you've used aptitude to upgrade - if you
hadn't I'd have then asked for the output of apt-get -s upgrade.
In this case it looks I'd ask for the output of:-
# apt-get -sf dist-upgrade

release a=squeeze-backports Pin-Priority: 200

Pin-Priority: 700
Package: * Pin: release v=6.0,o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages,
a=stable,n=squeeze, l=Unofficial Multimedia Packages Pin-Priority:
200
I'd probably put squeeze-backports higher than squeeze (stable), or at
least equal. Maybe see what Andrei suggests.
root@osrdii:/home/andreas#
So this seems like my issue is not solved yet, but looking into my
E-mail inbox showed the following interesting thing:
From: Gmane Autoauthorizer
auth-a403f8c7ceec3b67033fbc8069ee8...@auth.gmane.org To:
bugs.andreas.glae...@freenet.de Subject: gmane.linux.debian.user:
Authorization required Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:44:09 +0100
You have sent a message to be posted on the gmane.linux.debian.user
newsgroup.
Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have to confirm
that you exist. Just reply to this message, and the message will
be posted.
You have to respond within one week.
-- Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org http://gmane.org/
I replied to this message, so this question is probably resolved
now.
Sorry - I have no suggestions there.
Gmane has nothing to do with Debian. Likewise Google Groups, New
Generation and various other self-appointed gateways.
Consider subscribing to the debian mailing lists directly instead
of using an unassociated third party. Gmane offers no advantages
over directly subscribing to the list, and all the disadvantages.
Dealing directly with the lists will, amongst other benefits,
prevent this breaking of threads that makes it harder for
everyone.
I really prefer using Gmane to getting all those raw E-mail messages.
You can use the Debian news gateway - you can even just respond directly
to through the archive. eg:- go to:-
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/01/author.html
find yourself:-
bottom of that page
open the relevant thread:-
(notice how there's four threads instead of just one?)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/01/author.html
go to the bottom of the post and click on one of the Replyto: links.
In this example you'd be replying to yourself!
But normally you use the next in thread links below it to find someone
else's response to you post (that one it the one I'm replying to)
This method will either open a Reply in claws (keeping the thread
intact) or open a prompt from your browsers asking which program to
associate mailto: links with (choose claws).
There is far too much traffic on that list of yours.
That sounds reasonable - though I'd suggest you consider a different
strategy for dealing with gmane - you have created several different
threads where there should have been just one. Most people manage to use
gmane without that happening - and broken threads creates an extra level
of difficulty which can cause people to decide it's too much hassle to
try and help you.
Perhaps some of the other gmane users can suggest ways for you to keep
track of threads.
The alternative - whereby you only receive emails to questions you posed
is to use the method I outlined above.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Re: Software-upgrades not installable due to APT-misconfiguration ?
First I had some problems with gmane finding the my thread, the I tried to reply through gmane, but now I found that my answer was not there, although the system told me, that sending seems to have been done correctly. When I think of it now this must be the most insecure thing ever, as only my name and e-mail address were required, and no authentication at all took place, except some pseudo-captcha. Do you really rely on people not to abuse this hole ? Or does it just look like a security hole to me in review ? Installing 'linux-source-3.2' and building it worked just fine, it is running just fine now, too, useless to say, that there was no configuration necessary prior to building the kernel-package, all the settings were already made.

Do you really rely on people not to abuse this hole ? Or does it just look like a security hole to me in review ? Gmane has nothing to do with Debian. Likewise Google Groups, New Generation and various other self-appointed gateways. Consider subscribing to the debian mailing lists directly instead of using an unassociated third party. Gmane offers no advantages over directly subscribing to the list, and all the disadvantages. Dealing directly with the lists will, amongst other benefits, prevent this breaking of threads that makes it harder for everyone.
