[OLSR-users] olsrd Debain package on sarge

[Peter Abrahamsen]

Welcome to the wonderful wide world of doing anything unusual on a  
Debian system!

You can probably safely hack those dependencies. Not that I'm in a  
position to know, but you probably can. An easier (!) way may be to  
use pinning, and run something like

# apt-get -t unstable install olsrd

Of course, you upgrade a bunch of other stuff as well, but I've done  
this kind of thing many times without any disaster to date.

Cheers,

Peter
