[mythtv-users] apt-pinning on debian-multimedia repository

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello all, I am getting some problems with playback on LiveTV. I am
using debian-multimedia repository with stable version
(0.24+fixes20110121-0.0). On the testing there is a newer version
(0.24+fixes20110408-0.0), and I hope there will be fixed some LiveTV
problems.

I configure the APT this way:

# cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release n=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release n=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 800

# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "squeeze";

But when I try to install mythtv from testing repository I get this:

# apt-get install -t wheezy mythtv

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I don't want to upgrade all my system to testing because I have some
problem with the 2.6.38 kernel version.

Can some Debian user help with this?

Thanks for all your help and best regards.
