I wanted to update my testing system to KDE2.2.1 and was usingthe info
provided by Bruce Miller in his mini-HOW-TO but I'm having problems with my
preferences file. The contents of /etc/apt/preferences is:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 777
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 333
But apt-get is reporting the following:
Reading Package Lists... Done
E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header
progeny:/home/jgay#
I get this no matter which command I use with apt-get. update fetches the
packages from testing and unstable and finishes with this. install anything
just gives me this back.
I've read the apt-get and apt-preferences man pages, but everything 'seems'
to be in order. Where have I gone wrong?
I am looking forward to finally seeing KDE2.2.1
Thanks for all the help and support!
Cheers,
John Gay
