Package: apt Version: 1.5~beta1 Severity: wishlist
Hi. Looking at apt_preferences(5), it does, AFAICS, not explain the following: a) What happen if multiple e.g. Pin: directives are found? It seems only the last one is taken and the former ones ignored (per block). btw: Perhaps it would be even good, if apt gives warnings in such cases. b) How can one combine origin, version and release Pins? e.g. for a package named foo, when it's from Origin ACME, the version 10 shall get Priority 600: Is this: Package: foo Pin: version 10 release o=ACME Pin-Priority: 600 or would it be Pin: version 10, release o=ACME or would swapping work? Pin: release o=ACME version 10 What if my Origin contains spaces? Cheers, Chris.
