Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Severity: wishlist
The man page of apt_preferences lacks the explanation when priority
equals 0. Here is an excerpt:
0 < P <=100
causes a version to be installed only if there is no installed
version of the package
P < 0
prevents the version from being installed
As we can see, the above didn't mention what would happen when P=0.
Seems at least an incompletion in documentation. According to the
changelog from 0.7.0 to 0.7.2 there is no mention about this issue, so I
assume this problem applies to 0.7.2 too.
