Sorry I am new to Debian / Sarge and don't understand what you mean
with "click". I want to install it via ssh from another machine.

As far as I understand it, it is in "stable", so it should be not a
problem to install it online.

I use the following sources:

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib
deb http://debian.inode.at/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://debian.inode.at/debian/ testing main
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

If you want to use packages from Stable, you'll need to add it to your
sources.

deb http://debian.inode.at/debian/ stable main

And run apt-get update.

However, a later version of icepref is in Unstable, and may appear in
Testing when it's ready.

Yes, there's a release-critical bug stopping the package entering
testing at the moment.

You can see this by going to <http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl>
("Why is package X not in testing yet?") and entering the package name.

In the meantime I tried the unstable version. How can I downgrade to
stable?

I'd use Synaptic to remove the unstable version, remove the repository
providing it from my repository list, make sure I had the repository
providing the stable version in my repository list and then install it.

I believe starting with:

apt-get remove icepref

or even

apt-get remove --purge icepref

might be another option.

In the meantime I decided to remove icewm and install it again. It
looks like there are bigger problems at the moment, because
python-gtk is broken.

apt-get install icepref
....
Die folgenden Pakete haben nichterfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
icepref: Hängt ab: python-gtk (>= 0.6.8-12) soll aber nicht

That's the way I did it. But it are 2 steps, 1st removing and then
installing again. I would like to know if there is a possibility to
do it with one command.

Is this not because you have repositories indicating conflicting
versions or not refreshed your package lists (apt-get update)?

As a matter of interest do you already have a desktop installed? - I
mean, I'd hardly dream of attempting this without Gnome and Synaptic
installed!

Yes, Gnome, KDE, XFCE and others are installed and seem to work
fine. I also could start IceWM-unstable before and now IceWM. Iceme
seems to work too, but not icepref.

This is an old P III 450 for the evaluation of Sarge and I configure
this machine via ssh from a SuSE 9.2-machine, since the
Sarge-machine is connected with a 15"-monitor on the floor in
another room.

Trying to install with Synaptic I get the "Mark additional required
changes?" dialogue with to be installed: icewm icewm-common imlib1
libgdk-pixbuf2 python-gtk-1.2.

As soon as I click on "Mark", Synaptic crashes - very strange behaviour.
At the command line I get:

Synaptic doesn't crash here, but requires Python 2.1, while Python
2.3.5 is installed. I installed 2.1 too and still it says Python
2.1 is necessary. Removing Python 2.3.5 removes too much important
packages, so I won't do this.

Hmmh, don't know what is the difference here. I think it is faster
to edit the configuration with vi.

I seem to have Python 2.3.4-4 installed, which will be the "testing"
version since it (Synaptic) says 2.3.5-1 is the latest version -
presumably "unstable".

So indeed I'd guess the problem is trying to install the "stable"
icepref with the "unstable" Python installation.

I think I made a mistake trying some unstable packages. With lots of
packages I get the message "broken" now. Since I would have other
partition sizes for my "evaluation pc" in the meantime too, I think
it's time for a new install.

Please read `man apt-get`; `apt-get install -t stable icepref` should do
the trick (and IIRC `apt-get install something/stable` should do the
same).

You don't need to be root to do this. Simply copy the file logged in as
your normal user_id.

I stand corrected, either way will work, rather than messing with
pinning and the sources.list.
