Is there an easier way to go about collecting dependencies?

Use apt instead of trying to do it by hand.

Yes, but I want to install an unstable package on stable
debian. It seems like the best way to do it is using dpkg -i.
I've tried apt-pinning where you are supposed to be able to
use apt-get to mix and match installs from testing and unstable,
but, in actual practice, it hasn't worked out very well for me.
I end up with a broken system.

In collecting all the needed .debs it takes some time and patience
in order to determine which ones should be installed first.
Just wondered if there was an easier way.


Thanks,
