Thank you,

unfortunately the Debian policy to split packages caused a complete mess
for dev packages.

Since Debian stable is missing many needed packages for audio production
I installed much from backports and/or testing and/or unstable.
To compile some audio software I already run into a dev package issue
too, but because it where just a few dependencies I could solve it
manually.

To compile jwmtools it became a dependency hell for the dev packages. Is
there a way to automatically upgarde/downgrade packages to solve this
issue? Apt pinning seemingly is a completely useless thing. I read about
such issues with Debian on Linux audio users mailing list many times.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglade2-dev : Depends: libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.0.6) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

FWIW I want to know how to solve this issue for Debian, please don't
post links to Linux audio distros. I have a working Arch Linux for audio
and a working *buntu. I know how to set up audio production
environments. Now I try to set up Debian as a DAW too.

Ralf
