Hi,
I am trying to get a certain package (dbmail) pinned to a certain version (v2*).
This package is not part of debian distribution --yet, but an older version (v1*) does exist for it in the debian repositories.
This is the stuff that I added to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian woody/ deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian woody/
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian sid/ deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian sid/
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian stable/ deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian stable/
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian unstable/ deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian unstable/
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian experimental/ deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian experimental/
Please notice the 'slash' at the end. It is necessary for this particular repository.
When I add the following lines
Package: dbmail Pin: release version 2* Pin-Priority: 1500
to the /etc/apt/prefrences file, I would have expected that 'apt-get install dbmail-pqsql' (i.e PostgreSQL version of DbMail) would install v2.x, but it does not, it keeps getting v1.x
I did try it with 'apt-get --reinstall install dbmail-pqsql' but the result is the same. Same result with Synaptic too.
Could someone help, please.
Cheers, Ray
