'apt-get dist-upgrade' combined with appropriate entries in /etc/apt/sources.list will happily upgrade the whole installation to testing. Downgrade - no. Best thing you can probably do is apt-get install libgtk2.0-0=2.24.10-2 on any package which does not belong to stable. > Apt pinning seemingly is a completely useless thing.

In fact, correct using of apt pinning would prevent this very situation in the first place. > libgtk2.0-dev : Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.24.10-2) but 2.24.22-1 is to be > installed This. You have libgtk2.0-0 from unstable (or testing, can't say it from the version alone), and you're trying to install libgtk2.0-dev from stable. That should not work, and it is not working. Either downgrade libgtk2.0-0 to stable. Or install libgtk2.0-dev from the testing. PS It would help if you post the contents of: /etc/apt/sources.list (and all files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d) /etc/apt/preferences (and all files from /etc/apt/preferences.d).
