I've got unstable configured using apt-pinning, but still:
node1:/home/joehill# apt-cache policy xfdesktop4
xfdesktop4:
Installed: 4.4.2-7
Candidate: 4.4.2-7
Version table:
4.6.0-2 0
800 http://debian.yorku.ca unstable/main Packages
*** 4.4.2-7 0
900 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Now, this is my prefs file for pinning:
GNU nano 2.0.7 File: /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 800
So I'm guessing it has something to do with pin-priority? I notice that the
output from apt-cache policy includes an '800' for unstable and a '900' for
testing.
Thanks!
