To me that looks like the pinning worked and I do not understand how apt can think of "upgrading" to the same version. Is your currently installed gimp a version from another repository? What happens if you ask specifically for gimp: apt-get install gimp Also, what is the output of apt-get check and apt-get install -sf ? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |
