The linux-image-amd64 package from squeeze backports installs linux- image-3.1.0-0.bpo.1-amd64. Is 2.6.29 the better choice than 3.1? I've never used backports before... How do I have to install the nvidia-glx package from backports properly? The instruction page [1] tells me to use apt-get -t squeeze-backports install "package" and not use pinning. Actually I don't know much about pinning too. On the AptPreferences debian wiki page [2] they say: "Before you consider 'pinning', you might want to check if the package you want has been backported to your release". So I suppose I don't have to use pinning at all? But when I try to install the nvidia-glx package from the backports repos I get this: http://pastebin.com/dbiAbndp apt-get -t squeeze-backports install nvidia-glx tells me: nvidia-glx is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 42 not upgraded. But dist-upgrade won't do anything. What am I doing wrong?
