+If you require a newer version of deluge than what is available in the squeeze repos,
+you can install the newest version in the unstable distribution (sid)
+
+First add sid to your /etc/apt/sources.list
+{{{
+deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
+deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
+}}}
+(use your local country mirror, eg ftp.uk.debian.org, ftp.fr.debian.org etc.)
+
+Next we set the priority for each distribution, so that only packages you specify are from sid, not your whole system.
+
+In /etc/apt/preferences
+{{{
+ Package: *
+ Pin: release o=Debian,a=squeeze
+ Pin-Priority: 900
+
+ Package: *
+ Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
+ Pin-Priority: 300
+
+ Package: *
+ Pin: release o=Debian
+ Pin-Priority: -1
+}}}
+
+Update your packages list 
+{{{
+aptitude update
+}}}
+
+Now install the version of deluge available in unstable 
+
+{{{
+aptitude -t unstable install deluge
+}}}

+That release is old enough as to not get any nasty unmet dependencies when those packages are installed on Squeeze.
 
 This method does '''not''' work for Lenny, it depends on a package that doesn't exist in Lenny yet, see [wiki:Installing/Linux/Debian/Lenny] as how this can be done.
