I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... I want to prevent a particular package from ever being installed. In /etc/apt/preferences I have:
Package: somepackage Pin: version * Pin-Priority: -1 But the package can still be installed by either command: apt-get install somepackage apt-get install otherpackage (where 'otherpackage' depends on 'somepackage') I thought maybe the 'version *' was throwing it off, so I replaced '*' with the actual version number and the package still gets installed. Any ideas how to achieve my goal of blacklisting this particular package? -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
