http://unix.stackexchange.com – I need to install a GEOS version >= 3.2.2, and doing so is beyond my current aptitude (pun intended). The current Debian squeeze version is 3.2.0, which will not work for my purposes (using the rgeos package in R). I've tried the following: Installing the 3.3.3 package from the Debian wheezy repository via dpkg -i Installing several 3.2.2 packages from the Ubuntu repository. All fail because I need libstdc++6 (>=4.6) and I have version 4.4.5-8. I assume that what I need is to install a newer libstdc++6, but I want to do so in a way that doesn't break existing packages. Is it possibl (HowTos)

I downloaded the packages from the kijo repository, but when I try to install them it shows that a newer libstdc++4.6 is installed. If I try to uninstall libstdc++4.6 it tries to uninstall the system itself! (Almost every package in the system).

General situation:

I need to port Qt project from MS Visual Studio 2010 to Linux (Debian) In VS 2010 I got Qt ver. 4.8.1 in Debian Qt 4.6.1 this difference prevents me from porting, as some features are not present in 4.6.1.

In Debian I use stable Squeeze repository.

The setup

I run a Debian Squeeze host that I use to build a multilanguage project (python, java, php...) and generate custom packages (debian and RPM) automatically (through jenkins)

The problem

The target distributions of those Debian packages are Etch, Lenny and Squeeze.

Hello.

I'm often compiling and installing software either to get the latest version or simply because the software doesn't exist in a repository. To keep track on installed software I use checkinstall to generate .deb package files and install using package management tools ( e.g.

I want to use doxygen on my Debian Squeeze server, but I need the version from Debian Wheezy because this apparently contains the bugfix I need.

It's not in backports -- check packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze-backports&searchon=names&keywords=doxygen (I'm new here and wasn't allowed this as a proper link!)

I tried adding Wheezy to my sources.list file and running apt-get install
