Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Seems that I cannot override the pinning defined
in /etc/apt/preferences by a local config file in
/etc/apt/preferences.d. Sample:
/etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
/etc/apt/preferences.d/local
Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
According to the man page the next run of
apt-get update
apt-get install git
would install the git from debian-backports, since I
did not set a target release, 500 == 500, and the
version number of git in debian-backports is higher
than Squeeze's git. But it doesn't.
If I set the 500 in /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
then it works, i.e. overriding the Pin-Priority is
somehow flawed.
This is surely not what one would expect. It took me
quite some time to figure out. Would it be possible
to fix this?
Many thanx
Harri
