--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I'm trying to rebuild a chain of build dependencies to work on a package for
the gcc5 and libstdc++6 transition. What I'm doing is building libraries,
putting them into a local reprepro repository, and made an APT Pin in the
chroot to prioritize the local repository to try to get cowbuilder to use
the newly rebuilt version of the libraries in order to pick up the ABI
change, without having to modify the source packages of the libraries. This
means that the library version numbers between the local repository and
Debian's remote repository are exactly the same.
The APT Pin looks like it's in place correctly as far as I can tell:
# chroot /deb-chroots/amd64-sid-base.cow/
# apt-cache policy
Package files:
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
release a=now
1001 ftp://localhost/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
release o=Local_Packages,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Local_Packages,c=main
origin localhost

release o=Debian,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Debian,c=main
origin ftp.us.debian.org
Pinned packages:
So I expect that when I try to do a build of avahi that it will pull
libglib2.0-0 from the local repository because it contains it:
# reprepro list sid
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-0-dbg 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-0-refdbg 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-bin 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-data 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-dev 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-doc 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-tests 2.44.1-1.1
u|sid|main|amd64: libglib2.0-udeb 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|i386: libglib2.0-data 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|i386: libglib2.0-doc 2.44.1-1.1
sid|main|source: glib2.0 2.44.1-1.1
But when I attempt to do a build, cowbuilder (or pbuilder) is instead
pulling libglib2.0-0 from Debian's repository instead:
# time nice cowbuilder --build avahi_0.6.31-5.dsc --basepath
/deb-chroots/amd64-sid-base.cow/
-> Copying COW directory
forking: rm -rf /deb-chroots/cow-buildplace/cow.18920
[...]
Need to get 32.4 MB/151 MB of archives. After unpacking 499 MB will be used.

If the version number in the local repository is higher, then the version
that's downloaded comes from the local repository, but not otherwise. Is
there a way to get cowbuilder to use libraries from a local repository
regardless of whether the version number is lower, equal, or higher than
Debian's remote repo?
Thanks.
