It seems, that tools from apt package now (ver. 2.2.3) _do_ allow to unset an apt.conf(5) option by using `-o`: $ apt-cache policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 https://deb.debian.org/debian rc-buggy/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,n=experimental,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org 990 https://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org Pinned packages: $ apt-cache -o APT::Default-Release='' policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 https://deb.debian.org/debian rc-buggy/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,n=experimental,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org 500 https://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org Pinned packages: While aptitude(8) still complains about syntax: $ aptitude -o APT::Default-Release='' show -o requires an argument of the form key=value, got APT::Default-Release= Should not it be brought into the line?
