On my Debian Lenny system, the sox version that I had installed
(v14.0.1) was somewhat outdated, so I tried to install 14.3, which
appeared to be available only on 'testing' repositories. So, removed my
v14.0.1, then I modified my /etc/apt/sources.list, and after an 'apt-get
update', I reinstalled the newer version. I got no error that I can
remember of, but then I found that, despites an up to date man page, the
newer functions were not implemented in my "new" sox, which indeed must
have still be the old one.
So, I removed it and tried to re-install the old version after removing
the testing addresses in my /etc/apt/sources.list and updating. But this
backstep appear impossible to achieve... The error messages, that are in
French, can be summarized as follows : some packages cannot be
installed. The following packages contain unsatisfied dependencies. sox:
Depend: libsox0 but will not be installed
E: Defective packages
If I now try to call 'sox -h', I get this :
root@new-host:/home/bd# sox -h
sox: Symbol `sox_effect_fns' has different size in shared object,
consider re-linking
sox: Symbol `sox_format_fns' has different size in shared object,
consider re-linking
Segmentation error.
I have reached a point where I can no longer install a workable sox
version. What can I do now ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Downgrading package is not supported. There's a very simple explanation:
While we can modify future packages to take into account features of old
packages, we can't modify old packages to take into account features of future
packages.

You'll have to get libsox0 installed before Lenny's sox will work.

All these errors are because of the library mismatch.

You should never mingle Lenny & testing, even if you think you know
everything.
Have you tried backport?

Thanks for this advice. No, I don't think that I know everything...

Yes, I have, but in this repository, the 'sox' version that was
available was the one I already had, that is : v14.0.1

The fundamental difference between Lenny & testing (libc for eg) will
cause you never-end headaches. You can use testing and get packages from
sid without too much trouble.

Then I personally think the only option left is to get/compile source
from testing/sid, which shouldn't be too much trouble with all those
Debian helper tools.

I have just done this. The install went OK, so did the re-install of
Lenny's sox. But, when trying to call 'sox -h' (or any call to sox), I
get this :
bd@new-host:~$ sox -h
sox: error while loading shared libraries: libsox.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
bd@new-host:~$
libsox.so.1 does not exist on my system, as
$apt-cache search libsox.so.1 seem to say
#apt-cache search libsox.so.1 says the same, so I believe no such file
exists for download either

I just made another discovery. The 'man' file for sox that I presently
have on my system, is the one that belongs to sox v14.3, not the manfile
belonging to v14.0.1, where there was no mention of any -b option. This
knowledge reminds me that, prior to making an attempt to install from
'testing' repositories, I had tried to install from a source file that I
had downloaded from sox.sourceforge.net. At first sight, all had seemed
to go allright, there was no error in 'make', nor in 'make install', and
some sox functions seemed to work, other did not. This is when I decided
to try the Debian way with testing ; I thought that the new install
would go over the old one. This mismanagement may be part of the problem
I now have.
But then, how shall I manually remove as much as possible of what
remains of that sox installed from source, as well as what remains of
the v14.3 installed from 'testing' ?
