Debian Squeeze Pidgin 2.10.0 install error

Post by ayu »

Trying to install Pidgin 2.10.0 on Debian Squeeze, from the Wheezy/testing repository.
But I am getting an error (not that surprising, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me).
Has anyone succeeded with this?

I know, dangerous right? ... but it's fun ^^

Code: Select all

root@Enma:/etc/apt# apt-get -t testing install pidgin

hm, you can try to install perl-base and perl-modules from stable and then do the rest from testing, but that's just a guess... :-k

hmm yeah maybe :-k

Although I already have Perl, so unsure if it would work ... but I will try once I get back from work tonight :)

seems not, because it wants to install perl-base...best have a look via dpkg -l
if it IS already installed there might be a conflict between the perl versions (of the installed perl version and the to-be-installed libraries), so you could deinstall perl completely and install it again, this time from testing.

Solved it :D

Solution was:

Code: Select all

apt-get install pidgin -t testing -o APT::Immediate-Configure=0
