Sorry for my mistake, I sent this email to Andrei's private email instead of the list, so I am re-posting it to the email list.

I just read the man (apt_preferences) page :) Then, added the line below to /apt/preferences Package: tor Pin: origin "deb.torproject.org" Pin-Priority: 900 I gave 900 since the testing repo, with the highest pin number, is also 900, so aptitude automatically chooses the highest version. However, when I do "apt-get cache policy tor", it shows that torproject.org is still 500. Because aptitude installed the right version, it did not bother me much. There was also another example, I tried, like: Package: tor Pin: version 0.2.1.27* Pin-Priority: 1001 I don't know why, but this failed. It still tried to install v0.2.1.26 from testing repo. One can say that there isn't any difference between v0.2.1.26 and v0.2.1.27, be right. Yet, it was an educational thing for me :) Regards, Eren On Mon, 2010-12-13 at 15:37 +0200, Andrei Popescu wrote: > On Lu, 13 dec 10, 14:22:34, Debian TR wrote: > > > > Since there wasn't any reply so far, I didn't mark the mail as "solved". > > But, thanks anyway.
