I'm writing here basically because the next time I have to reinstall the whole system I'll recover the info quickly
The problem is the same exposed by many people before, with a fresh install of debian there's no way to install version 2.2.6, the version proposed is 2.2.1.
The problem lies in the dependancies, that can't be resolved only adding the almighty Vollstrecker repository to you sources.list.
That's because Amule 2.2.6 uses some packages that are (still now) considered in testing, and they are not part of the stable distro.
So, if you have a Debian stable installed on your pc you have a problem; debian won't consider Voll rep and still continue to use the Stable rep you used to install the system.
Solving the problem is quite isi indeed, and that's how I did it.
1) add a testing debian repository to your sources.list; I suggest avoid any graphical interface and edit with a root terminal sources.list:
- make a copy of the original file (just in case)
- disable the stable rep using a # and add the testing line e.g.:
deb
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
(you'll have to check on internet)
- save and exit
2) launch on the root terminal apt-get update
(it won't install anything, updates only the rep-cache for packages)
3) launch on the root terminal apt-get install amule
and confirm, this will install amule 2.2.6 and every testing package dependancy needed.
4) go back to sources.list, disable testing rep with # and able the stable rep
5) launch on the root terminal apt-get update
(this will revert the cache to original state and prevent the update of the whole system to a testing version of Debian).
that's it, I hope it helps
there are for sure some english errors, frak you, grammar nazis
