Here is a strange problem:
$ cat /var/cache/apt-build/repository/Release
Archive: apt-build
Component: main
Origin: apt-build
Label: apt-build
Architecture: i386
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release o=""
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 800
$ apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx:
Installed: 1.0.8774-3
Candidate: 1.0.8774-3
Version table:
*** 1.0.8774-3 0
500 file: apt-build/main Packages
1.0.8774-3 0
800 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
Now if I change this line in the preferences file:
Pin: release a=apt-build
to:
Pin: release o=apt-build
then we get:
$ apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx:
Installed: 1.0.8774-3
Candidate: 1.0.8774-3
Version table:
*** 1.0.8774-3 0
900 file: apt-build/main Packages
1.0.8774-3 0
800 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
Now apt is preferring the version in the apt-build repository. But why
doesn't pinning by Archive work? You can see in the apt-build Release file
that the Archive is "apt-build".
This has been bugging me for a long time, and I just discovered that
switching the preference to the Origin works. But why doesn't the Archive
work?
Is this a bug? If so, which package should I file it on? (apt-build is
hardly developed anymore.)
