Hi,



I'd like to install django 1.4 on squeeze. I read man apt_preferences to get information about pinning and here is what wrote on my preferences file :



###################

Package: *

Pin: release a=stable

Pin-Priority: 900



Package: *

Pin: release a=testing

Pin-Priority: 500



Package: *

Pin: release a=unstable

Pin-Priority: 100



Package: *

Pin: release c=non-free

Pin-Priority: -10



Package: broadcom-sta-common

Pin: release c=non-free

Pin-Priority: 991



Package: python-django

Pin: version 1.4*

Pin-Priority: 991

###################



Unfortunately I can't emerge python-django because of unmet dependencies :



root@Coffee:~# apt-get -t testing install python-django

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree******

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

initscripts : Breaks: console-setup (< 1.74) but 1.68+squeeze2 is to be installed

************** Breaks: nfs-common (< 1:1.2.5-3) but 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2 is to be installed

libglib2.0-0 : Breaks: eog (< 3.2.2-3) but 2.30.2-1 is to be installed

*************** Breaks: gnome-control-center (< 1:3) but 1:2.30.1-2 is to be installed

libgnome-keyring0 : Breaks: gnome-keyring (< 3.0) but 2.30.3-5 is to be installed

network-manager : Recommends: crda but it is not going to be installed

****************** Breaks: network-manager-gnome (< 0.9) but 0.8.1-2 is to be installed

E: Broken packages



Is there something I've done wrong ?

Just a quick notes on this (others will comment on the pinning issue) :-)

There is django 1.3 available in backports, just in case it servers your
needs.

And a side note... I don't know about Django requirements/dependencies
but being pure python web based framework, have you considered to install
it directly from the upstream project? :-?

Sorry for HTML,

You're right, the best way to figure it out is probably to download
django from upstream. But I think django 1.4 needs python > 2.6.6 (which
is unfortunately the latest available version on Squeeze I believe).

I'm gonna check all of this.

Indeed, it was much easier to install django from upstream :

# cd /tmp
# wget http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.4/tarball/
# tar zxvf Django-1.4.tar.gz
# cd Django-1.4
# python setup.py install
