Hello,

I want to install backports e.g. evolution 2.8. I enabled the backport
repository and run apt-get update. But still the many backports aren't
available. I checked that e.g. evolution exists in
http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evolution/ and I can
download it manually. But then the dependencies are not resolved.

$ grep dapper-backport /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse

$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7
  Candidate: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.1-0ubuntu7 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Regards,
Marco
