Hi, On a development system, I'd like to have experimental and unstable in the sources.list, and to have experimental pinned down to a priority tha experimental is never considered. For certain packages, I'd like apt to consider experimental as well, taking whatever is newer from experimental and unstable.
My sources.list: deb http://debian.example/debian/ sid main contrib deb http://debian.example/debian ../project/experimental main contrib My preferences: Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental Pin-Priority: -12 Package: exim4-daemon-light Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental Pin-Priority: 555 The system has exim4-daemon-light 4.50-1 installed. That version has been in experimental, and has been removed from there when 4.50-2 was uploaded to unstable. However, the system in question has not updated automatically. $ apt-cache policy exim4-daemon-light exim4-daemon-light: Installed: 4.50-1 Candidate: 4.50-1 Package Pin: (not found) Version Table: 4.50-4 555 500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sid/main Packages *** 4.50-1 555 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.44-2 555 500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sarge/main Packages $ What am I doing wrong?
