Installing cinnamon on LMDE

Installs but does not run.... working on it... please comment if you've had better luck.

Follow instructions to upgrade to gnome-shell 3.2 here:

Dependencies, even on the debian package, have the wrong package name, though some of these can be upgraded -- look for equivalent packages in your debian repos (in sid and experimental as well).

once you've upgraded everything you can, and have downloaded cinnamon run something like this:

sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=libecal1.2-10,libedataserver1.2-15,libgjs0c,libmozjs185-1.0,libpulse-mainloop-glib0,libpulse0 -i Downloads/cinnamon_1.1.2_amd64.deb
