and then did: `apt-get update'. Then I did: `apt-get install libopensync0',
but the system would insist upon installing the older version:

Media Change: Please insert the disc labelled
‘Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20070407-11:40’
in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press enter

well, you could just comment out the cd line in sources.list,
re-update and try again.


How can install what I want, i.e. the newer version from the repository? I
also tried with `apt-get install libopensync0=0.22' but didn't work.

post the output of

apt-cache policy opensync
