I just want to install the NEW packages, not the EXTRA, SUGGESTED or RECOMMENDED:

No lucky reading man page for apt-get.

It's possible to do this??

I don't want to update i.e: samba cause it's running ok. That's the problem. – DontVoteMeDown – 2012-05-30T19:04:18.947

I've never had a package update break anything. It is important to keep a regularly updated system. After a quick glance at the Samba changelog, I think that there could be a security update for it. Also, if you're running a server and are afraid of downtime due to an update, don't worry about it; an update to any of those in the list will not require a restart to your system. – Deltik – 2012-05-30T19:08:15.313

I forgot to mention on the question that these packages are from Wheeze repo that is a testing (unstable) repository, not the Squeeze. Anyway, I updated those packages, let's see and pray. Thank you anyway. – DontVoteMeDown – 2012-05-30T19:09:47.067
