You do not need to downgrade anything, because the version of those packages in Wheezy is most likely higher than its counterpart in Squeeze-Backports. Third-party repositories may cause more trouble, but Backports is carefully managed, precisely to prevent these issues.stevesr0 wrote:If all of these have to be downgraded to Squeeze packages in order to upgrade, I would be inclined to just do a fresh install of Wheezy.
Replying to your response above.
Thanks for aptitude "code".
I ran both.
The first one returned no packages ?!!
The second returned:

When I try to search within "visual" aptitude, I don't see any way of search by version or repository and using "bpo" I get one package that includes bpo. If I try with bpo60, I don't get any packages.
Interesting discrepancies.
