Package: apt Version: 0.5.28.5 Severity: minor File: /usr/bin/apt-cache Hi,
apt-cache policy output is most helpful when debugging upgrade issues, but is undocumented: |$ apt-cache policy exim4 |exim4: | Installed: 4.50-4 | Candidate: 4.50-4 | Version Table: | *** 4.50-4 0 | 500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sid/main Packages | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 4.44-2 0 | 500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sarge/main Packages It should be documented how a candidate is determined, and where the priorities listed in the version table come from. Especially the difference between the number behind the version number and the number in front of the URL is byzantine. Please document.
