Hi,
I'm using apt_preferences to follow testing and to use mozilla from
unstable. That works just fine.
Now I've downloaded the mozilla source tar and diff and changed a few
things. I versioned this new package "2:1+rc2-2.1".
Now "apt-get upgrade" wants to downgrade to "2:1+rc2-2". As far as I
understand apt_preferences (5), only packages with a pin of > 1000 are
marked downgradable. I have pin of 700 on version "2:1+rc2-2".
Is this a bug or am I just missing something?
Here's a log:
