What are you actually trying to do? Likely LO = LibreOffice; cf. FF = Firefox etc. Cheers, David.

The backports suites aren't full distributions and you could not have a working system where every package comes from -backports as most of those packages won't exist. bullseye-backports is only intended to provide a relatively small number of newer packages for systems nominally running Debian bullseye.

Backports is an entirely separate repository from stable, testing, unstable, and experimental. See my web page http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm#Web for an example of installing a package from backports. In the above example, the flashplugin-nonfree package is installed from lenny-backports. There are a few wrinkles involved; so be sure to read carefully. By the way, saying something like please be sure you are correct before replying is a good way to get no replies at all. No-one is infallible. But I took pity on you and replied anyway, despite my human frailties. I don't work for you; so you can't fire me. And you have no support contract with me; so you can't sue me. My advice comes free of charge and free of liability. Take it with however many grains of salt you think it's worth, and use it, if you choose to do so, entirely at your own risk. -- .''`.

Installing a backport
Here is how you go about not damaging your system in ANY WAY: Find a package/program in your distribution´s repository that suits you and doesn´t come from Backports, Backporting stuff is almost running Stable/Testing, somethings won´t matter ... but many will, I only recommend Backports if you can´t have the program you want in Stable AND your boss is threatning to fire you if you don´t use Backports (other cases just go directly to Testing) ;-) Rogerio 2010/3/20 Lisi lisi.re...@gmail.com On Saturday 20 March 2010 16:16:01 Stephen Powell wrote: By the way, saying something like please be sure you are correct before replying is a good way to get no replies at all.

Re: Unexpected APM functionality after installing gnome2.2 backport
