Package: libcupt-perl Version: 1.5.13 Severity: normal After completing my policy handling in APT2 (or whatever it will be called), I tested the result against APT and cupt. This showed me that cupt seems to have a bug which may be related to the fact that a specific package is pinned using a 'Pin: release':
APT shows the following:
========================
j...@hp:~/Desktop/playground/debpkg2:master$ apt-cache policy mplayer
mplayer:
Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0
Candidate: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0
Package pin: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0
Version table:
*** 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0 1990

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:1.0~rc3+svn20100502-3 1990
990 http://localhost sid/main Packages
Internal APT2 prototype shows:
==============================
j...@hp:~/Desktop/playground/debpkg2:master$ ./apt mplayer
mplayer:
Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0
Candidate: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0

Whereas cupt shows:
===================
j...@hp:~/Desktop/playground/debpkg2:master$ cupt policy mplayer
W: attempt to set wrong option 'Dir::Log::History'
mplayer:
Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20100603-0.0

Summary
=======
There appear to be two problems here:
1) The pin for the debian-multimedia.org version is not applied
2) The pin for the Debian version is -1009 although o=Debian is
pinned at 990.
