docker install fails with unmet dependencies on debian wheezy

I'm trying to install docker on a debian wheezy (I want to run some nodejs apps on my server..). I've followed steps described here but when I execute

apt-get install docker-engine

I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 docker-engine : Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) but it is not installable
                 Recommends: cgroupfs-mount but it is not installable or
                             cgroup-lite but it is not installable
                 Recommends: yubico-piv-tool (>= 1.1.0~) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Being a total noob with docker and debian I don't really know whats causing this error.

below my kernel:

root@xxx:/home/xxx# uname -r
3.10.23-xxxx-std-ipv6-64

resolved

This github issue here Helped me resolve this installation problem.

As mentionned by 'lidel' (13 Oct 2015) i have to use backport installs of init-system-helpers ...

i've just added the line below at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main

and then

apt-get update && apt-get install init-system-helpers
apt-get install docker-engine 

and now it works
