What program is this/what packages do you intend to install from Lenny? My advice would differ depending on what specific packages are in question...

I am wanting to install Amazon MP3 Downloader. It requires libboost 1.34.1 files, specifically libboost-filesystem1.34.1 libboost-thread1.34.1 libboost-iostreams1.34.1 libboost-signals1.34.1 libboost-date-time1.34.1

Those older libboost packages don't seem to conflict with any packages in Debian Squeeze, so installing them should theoretically be safe. Just install them manually from http://packages.debian.org, and install them using

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i libboost-*.deb
