Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
it seems that the Pin-Priority of -1 doesn't do what it should do:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt>apt-cache policy tetex-base
tetex-base:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 3.0-15
Package pin: 3.0-15
Version table:
3.0-15 -1
500 http://debian sid/main Packages
3.0-14 -1
500 http://debian etch/main Packages
2.0.2c-8 -1
500 http://debian sarge/main Packages
man apt_preferences says that the priority -1 prevents a version from
being installed. But the above output shows that all versions get the
same priority and thus the highest version would be installed.
Have a look at my preferences file which _explicitly_ lists version
3.0.15 and assigns it the priority -1, however this has not the desired
effect.
Andreas
