Dear All,

(veuillez pardonner l'anglais et le longeur!)

I am attempting to install Wims 4.02-4 on 32-bit Debian « Squeeze »,
from Georges Khaznadar's packages. Debian is actually running in 2GB
on VirtualBox v4.1.2 on an 8GB Windows 7 (64-bit) PC. I hope
eventually to install it directly on another 32-bit PC.

I have not succeeded, because I am presented with unresolvable
dependencies, and would greatly appreciate some suggestions as to
where I am going wrong. I installed Debian from the first distro DVD,
selecting only « web server » beyond the bare minimum. I entered the
following in /etc/apt:

/etc/apt/sources.list:
=================================
#

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2.1 _Squeeze_ – Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20110626-15:45]/ squeeze contrib main

# sid [RS 03-10-2011]
deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
=================================

and /etc/apt/preferences:
=================================
Package: *
Pin: release n=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 450

Package: *
Pin: release n=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 300

Package: *
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: 150

Package: wims
Pin: version 4.02*

Package: units-filter
Pin: version 3.5*
Pin-priority: 460

Package: wims-modules
Pin: version 4.02*
Pin-priority: 460
=================================

After the above changes I ran « apt-get update » to update Debian's
source lists, and then ran « apt-get install wims=4.02* » to try to
install wims and dependencies. I got:

=================================
root@debian-wims:/etc/apt# apt-get install wims=4.02*
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information… Done
Selected version '4.02-4' (Debian:unstable [i386]) for 'wims'
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:
 wims : Depends: units-filter (>= 3.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
root@debian-wims:/etc/apt#
=================================

Yet « apt-cache policy units-filter » reports:
=================================
 root@debian-wims:/etc/apt# apt-cache policy units-filter
units-filter:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.5-1
  Package pin: 3.5-1

Thanks in advance,
