Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.16.6ubuntu4.1 Severity: normal I'm trying to make a company internal repository with packages of internal only files and whatnot. dpkg-scanpackages complains that the package I'm trying to add isn't in the override file. Upon looking at the web page, I note the tantalizing "priority" field, but the contents of this are undefined, and there's no pointer to a way to figure out what would be useful here.
I'm hoping this is where I can tell our systems to prefer our version over the mirror version, since we need to ride the edge on a few packages. In any case, I can't figure out what to put in this file, or why from this man page. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers hardy-updates APT policy: (500, 'hardy-updates'), (500, 'hardy-security'), (500, 'hardy') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-19-server (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-0ubuntu1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.4-2ubuntu4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii cpio 2.9-6ubuntu1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii dpkg 1.14.16.6ubuntu4 package maintenance system for Deb ii libtimedate- 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii lzma 4.43-12ubuntu1 Compression method of 7z format in ii make 3.81-3build1 The GNU version of the "make" util ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.8-12 Core Perl modules Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: pn build-essential <none> (no description available) pn gcc | c-compiler <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
