Hello,

I want also to install transcode on Hoary amd64. For that I added 
several sources in apt/sources.list for breezy and the marillat 
repositories. I added these lines in  /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=hoary
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=breezy
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

When I try to install transcode I got some dependency errors regarding 
libavcodeccvs, which is in the marillat repo, but it self  depends on 
packages which are in breezy. One of the package is libc6.

Now my question:
Is there someone who had already upgraded his libc6 to breezy in a apt 
pinning environement, like described above?
Which kinds of problems have to be expected?
Does it work flawlessy? I remember this step in a woody/sarge mix system 
as somewhat problematic. But I think that was the big translation from 
gcc-2.9x compiled libs to 3.x compiled libs...

The versions in breezy seems to fit to the requirements of transcode and 
libavcodeccvs.
transcode depends on libavcodeccvs (>= 2:20050110-0.0), which is in 
unstable, but it is not going to be installed (because it self depends 
on libs, that are not in hoary)

libavcodeccvs (>= 2:20050110-0.0) depens on:
libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21)
libfaac0 (>= 1.24-0.3)
libpostproc0 (>= 2:20050427-0.0)
libvorbis0a (>= 1.1.0)
libvorbisenc2 (>= 1.1.0)

In breezy we can find:
libc6 2.3.5-0ubuntu3 0
libvorbis0a  1.1.0-1 0
libvorbisenc2 1.1.0-1 0

In unstable we can find:
libfaac0 1.24-0.3 0
libpostproc0 2:20050427-0.0 0

So everything seems to be there.
Should I try to install all these prerequisite first and upgrade to 
libc6 which is BTW also needed by bookmarkbridge, or is this not 
possible and/or to dangerous?

Help is highly appreciate.

Kind regards
