Hi,
I've been following the "Debian Backports - Instructions"
at http://www.backports.org/instructions.html
to use backports. However, it doesn't work for me:
I've done all the settings required in the instruction:
$ grep backports /etc/apt/sources.list
# backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
$ grep -1 backports /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
I want to install the backports' asciidoc.
$ apt-cache policy asciidoc
asciidoc:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 6.0.3-1
Version Table:
7.0.2-4 0
80 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
40 http://debian.yorku.ca unstable/main Packages
7.0.2-3bpo1 0
200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
*** 6.0.3-1 0
1001 http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
However, when I issued the apt-get as instructed, only the mail sarge
version is installed:
$ apt-get -t sarge-backports install asciidoc
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
asciidoc python2.4
[...]
Setting up asciidoc (6.0.3-1) ...
$ apt-cache policy asciidoc
asciidoc:
Installed: 6.0.3-1
Candidate: 6.0.3-1
Version Table:
7.0.2-4 0
80 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
40 http://debian.yorku.ca unstable/main Packages
7.0.2-3bpo1 0
200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
*** 6.0.3-1 0
1001 http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Why is that?
How can I install backports packages properly? I want to, as recommended, to
pick out single backports which fits my needs, and not to use all
backports available.
