I have enabled the "proposed" repository and installed apt "1.0.1ubuntu2.23". Though, even after another "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade" still wants to downgrade my "burp" package.
It's noticeable that "policy's output" now contains a different "Candidate" version number. # dpkg -l apt (snip) ii apt 1.0.1ubuntu2.23 amd64 commandline package manager # apt-cache policy burp burp: Installed: 2.0.54-1 Candidate: 1.3.48-4 Package pin: 2.0.54-1 Version table: *** 2.0.54-1 1000 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.3.48-4 1000 500 https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821308 Title: apt-get upgrade ignores pinning preferences since 1.0.1ubuntu2.22 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1821308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
