[SOLVED] Trouble installing/upgrading libgtksourceview3.0

As the title suggests, I just cannot seem to install this package:
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libgt … view-3.0-0

I get no problem trying to install 2.0-0 using:

sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview2.0-0

but cannot get it to work for 3.0-0.

Help?

If you absolutely want that version, upgrading to wheezy is the best solution IMHO.

It depends on the entire GTK3 stack, and #! is GTK2. Plus, it requires a newer version of libc6 than in the Squeeze repos, which is not a good idea. Upgrade to Wheezy/Sid, or leave it alone. GTK2 to GTK3 is a major transition, a lot can go wrong.

Thanks for the replies fellas but perhaps you think I know more than I actually do.

I need libsourceview >= 2.2 for Gummi the latex editor. I simply just have no idea how to install this or upgrade my existing 2.0-0. I am quite confused.

Well, Here is what you can try:
1. Add wheezy to your apt sources
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install gummi
If that works, and it does, I have done it, it will have pulled a lot of packages from wheezy already, and maintaining a mix of squeeze and wheezy can turn out to be very difficult indeed.
There are 2 alternatives now:
a1: stay with the mix
  at this point remove the wheezy repo from your apt-sources and run
  sudo apt-get update
a2: full upgrade to wheezy
  remove squeeze from apt sources
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I would go for the second alternative any time.

Warning: Take the necessary precautions (system backup ) before you start.
Upgrading to testing worked for me yesterday, but that is no guarantee that it will work for you today.
