Yes, your pinning isn't working and 'apt-cache policy' is the perfect tool for diagnosing it. > in /etc/apt/preferences.d/. Here is my exact pinning file: (thanks, forgot to ask for it) > Package: * > Pin: release a=wheezy > Pin-Priority: 1001 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=wheezy-updates > Pin-Priority: 1001 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=wheezy-security > Pin-Priority: 1001 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=wheezy-proposed > Pin-Priority: -10 Look above: the proposed updates entry I kept has "a=proposed-updates,n=wheezy-proposed-updates", but your entry has neither. I would suggest you use "n=wheezy-proposed-updates" for the pin, because it is more specific.
