Of course. The first thing to check would be whether the version from sid installs without pulling in other dependencies (in which case the backports ftpmasters would probably not be interested in a backport). package version depended on version in squeeze [1] ------- ------------------- ------------------ libasound2 1.0.18 1.0.23-2.1 libbz2-1.0 (any) 1.0.5-6 libc6 2.11 2.11.2-10 libcairo2 1.6.0 1.8.10-6 libcups2 1.4.0 1.4.4-7 libdbus-1-3 1.0.2 1.2.24-4 libdbus-glib-1-2 0.78 0.88-2.1 libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable 1.4.13-stable-1 libexpat1 1.95.8 2.0.1-7 libfontconfig1 2.8.0 2.8.0-2.1 libfreetype6 2.3.9 2.4.2-2.1 libgcc1 1:4.1.1 1:4.4.5-8 libgconf2-4 2.27.0 2.28.1-6 libgcrypt11 1.4.6 1.4.5-2 E: Release 'squeeze' for 'libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0' was not found E: No packages found libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.22.0 (none) libglib2.0-0 2.18.0 2.24.2-1 libgtk2.0-0 2.24.0 2.20.1-2 libicu44 4.4.1-1 4.4.1-7 libjpeg62 6b1 6b1-1 libnspr4-0d 1.8.0.10 4.8.6-1 libnss3-1d 3.12.3 3.12.8-1+squeeze1 libpango1.0-0 1.20.0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 libpng12-0 1.2.13-4 1.2.44-1 libspeex1 1.2~beta3-1 1.2~rc1-1 libstdc++6 4.5 4.4.5-8 libvpx0 0.9.6 0.9.1-2 libx11-6 (any) 2:1.3.3-4 libxdamage1 1:1.1 1:1.1.3-1 libxext6 (any) 2:1.1.2-1 libxml2 2.7.4 2.7.8.dfsg-2 libxrender1 (any) 1:0.9.6-1 libxslt1.1 1.1.25 1.1.26-6 libxss1 (any) 1:1.2.0-2 libxtst6 (any) 2:1.1.0-3 zlib1g 1:1.2.0 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 xdg-utils (any) 1.0.2+cvs20100307-2 Conclusions: * You would need libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, libglib2.0-0, libgtk2.0-0, libgcrypt11, libstdc++6, and libvpx0 from squeeze-backports or wheezy to use the binary package. * This would be a candidate for a backport, provided someone's interested in making it. > Aren't backports for squeeze coming from wheezy, not sid, anyway? Plain backports, yes; backports-sloppy, no. Another possibility is to build from source locally. (I might put up a build in the next few days if I find time.)
