I've got a bit of a mythtv pilot program on dirt old hardware. One of my recent challenges has been apt breaking. I read someplace while doing research that we should stay away from apt as the repositories are experimental/unstable and could cause dep issues?

I want 3 things running on my mythBE/FE hybrid machine over and above the myth package

webmin: which knoppmyth has included so no problem there I just add it to the run level

isc dhcp server (dhcp3-server or dhcp4-server) and bind9

I keep bricking apt after trying to pull bind. Any suggestions?
Can I comment out all the sources and just put a temp line into the stable deb repository then do it? Then change it back when I'm done?

Thanks for the time.

OK... I'm back in business just updating in case someone googled, found this thread and needed a resolution themselves.

for dhcp I simply went to isc pulled down dhcp3 (dhcp4 wouldn't go) and installed it from their source (./configure, make, make install)

for bind I tried to do the same with about 4 versions of bind9 to no avail

I ended up adding a debian 4.0 etch package repository based on the following link

http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/bind/download

then apt-get update , apt-get install bind

then shazam I have an older version of bind installed. So now I'm happy
