(amarok) how install package from ceres properly?

kapqa · 2025-11-20 20:37:14

Hello ,

would like to install app "amarok" from ceres/sid;

on 1 computer it functioned beautifullly (without pulling in or upgrading a lot a lot of other packages);
however,
on ocvmputer 2 (both running excalibur) the

"sudo apt-get install amarok"

would pull in a lot of packages, upgrading and removing others.

how could i achieve just installing the package amarok with the necessary dependencies from ceres without touching the rest?=

(think it has to do with apt-pinning?)

thanks!

sudo apt-get install amarok --no-install-recommends

perhaps this may provide some insight:

tried this approach here

(apt-pinning for beginners)

https://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html

but it didn§t help.

sudo apt -t testing install amarok

produced more or less the same mess; could be the pinning does no longer function the same way as indicated in the page above.

In general, you should not try to mix testing/unstable packages with the stable release. That can lead to a lot of mismatched programs and libraries, and that will get worse as the testing progresses.

Instead, you should backport the package to build it for your stable system.
https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

For some packages that's easy, and for some it's not.

@fsmithred,

thanks for the link; will hopefull get to use it succesfully another time when needed;

for now, just updated the sistem to "freia" and everything seem function; even better tor should say more fluid han with devuan 6.0;

very pleased, and kudos to the devuan team! (and debian , too!)
