/etc/apt/preferences exists and /etc/apt/preferences.d/ does not. But I am not clear as to the purpose of looking at them? For what it is worth, /ect/apt/preferences says: <quote> Package: * Pin: release a=lenny-backports Pin-Priority: 200 </quote> It agrees with apt-cache policy. Shouldn't it? As I said, I have set nothing manually. Aptitude set it all up. I may be away again for the next 2 days. (But if I go on coughing the way I am now, I may not be!!)
