[Trisquel-users] Re : Installing Applications (Pitivi 0.9 and cairo)

[magicbanana]

I would try to install (with 'dpkg -i' or with a double click after  
installing GDebi) .deb packages from http://packages.debian.org. You start  
with this one (download section at the bottom of the page), see the missing  
dependencies, download them from sid's repository, try to install them, see  
the missing dependencies, download them from sid's repository, etc. until  
being back to the original package. That is call dependency hell! :-)

Again, there is a risk that some other applications (using Cairo, or  
GStreamer, or ...) malfunction or even stop functioning after you switch  
their dependencies for newer versions.
