Wesley, as you can see from my comment #23 I already have a pinning preferences file. And the correct values are picked up whether the file is named /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences. Therefore, as far as I am concerned the issue does not exist.
How about you run the following cadence instead with the old aptitude package installed? +--[ /etc/apt/preferences.d/lp508545 ] | | Package: * | Pin: release a=lucid-proposed | Pin-Priority: 99 | +-- Then, show us the output of "apt-cache policy aptitude". For me, that snippet works in BOTH locations, i.e. no bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508545 Title: Aptitude ignores /etc/apt/preferences.d/* To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/508545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
