I had testing set with a preference of 600 in /etc/apt/preferences. Even though I had security in my sources.list, none of the updates were getting installed.
Preference priority matters more than package version number, so the security updates weren't going in despite their higher number. I lowered the priority to 500 for testing, and everything worked. My preferences file has no explicit mention of stable; I think that means it's considered 500. I didn't see this info explicitly on the man page. -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 502-4031 530 Parnassus Avenue (Library) rm 115-4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 476-9856 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94143-0840 hm: (415) 550-1062 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
