Is it true that the apparently 1000+ different levels of priority mentioned on the apt_preferences(5) man page are actually just a handful?
If one manages to make 'apt-cache policy' report one item with priority 504 and another with priority 506, there are still other factors that override this and end one up apt-getting the 504 version, e.g. if it appears first in the 'apt-cache policy' output? If one really wants a higher number to mean something one must cross one of the boundaries mentioned on the apt_preferences man page? Is it like "all students with B's are candidates if there are no A's. We don't look at the percent grade."? -- ...because "Barksdale" is quite a mouthful. --Bdale Garbee http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
