@Rolf, apt-cache is NOT aptitude. It is provided by the apt package not by aptitude. So you see the correct pinning values with apt-cache policy, but aptitude is not respecting it. Which is the bug :)
In other words, replace install the totem-mozilla package with : aptitude -y -s totem-mozilla with the snippet in both locations and you will be able to replicate the bug (my snippet, not yours, unless totem- mozilla is also found in -proposed). -- 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
