Thanks a lot for the HOW-TO; it was exactly what I was looking for! I was running into a lot of problems with PHP’s memcached extension (and Zend Framework) and narrowed it down to the old version of memcached in Etch. This is definitely the way to pull things out of ‘testing’. Now to go fix the mess I made getting haproxy going in Etch a couple weeks ago.

Uh, okay, thanks. Seems I’m not yet really into that Debian etc. stuff

Julian: you can do that, but you will probably see some dependencies failing. You can install them also from testing, but the reason for this post was to show how you can rebuild those packages for etch.

For ex: trying what you said might show:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. memcached: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 is to be installed

And if you need to install libc from testing, you might be better to run testing after all .

Why can’t I get it via “apt-get -t testing install memcached”?
