Thanks, Daniel, for this helpful information. I just discovered another similar paradox. I tried to get source package for pidgin from backports.org. That repository was explicitly pinned at 500 and testing at 290. But, look
main:~# apt-get source pidgin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Need to get 13.2MB of source archives. Get:1 http://ftp2.de.debian.org testing/main pidgin 2.4.3-1 (dsc) [1800B] Get:2 http://ftp2.de.debian.org testing/main pidgin 2.4.3-1 (tar) [13.1MB] Get:3 http://ftp2.de.debian.org testing/main pidgin 2.4.3-1 (diff) [59.0kB] Fetched 13.2MB in 8m46s (25.0kB/s) gpg: Signature made Wed 02 Jul 2008 07:21:28 PM CEST using DSA key ID B70E403B gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found dpkg-source: extracting pidgin in pidgin-2.4.3 dpkg-source: unpacking pidgin_2.4.3.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: applying ./pidgin_2.4.3-1.diff.gz So, it is downloading from testing, although it has lower priority. How could I make it chose backports.org? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
