Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: important
Hi
I have set preferences for lenny (750) and sid (650) in /etc/apt/preferences
and no default release in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
aptitude ignores these preferences and tries to upgrade packages to the
unstable version. Even when I increase the priority for lenny to a value
above 1000 (which should force a downgrade of the package when it's
installed with a higher version) aptitude tries to do the opposite:
# apt-cache policy libcaca0
libcaca0:
Installed: 0.99.beta14-1
Candidate: 0.99.beta14-1
Version table:
0.99.beta16-1 0
650 http://http.us.debian.org sid/main Packages
*** 0.99.beta14-1 0
1750 http://http.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
# aptitude full-upgrade
[..]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Upgrade the following packages:
libcaca0 [0.99.beta14-1 (testing, now) -> 0.99.beta16-1 (unstable)]
libcucul0 [0.99.beta14-1 (testing, now) -> 0.99.beta16-1 (unstable)]
This shouldn't happen and makes apt preferences quite useless.
Regards
Uwe
