OK. I have the output from the command: ... 500 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Packages release v=None,o=Debian,a=testing,l=Debian-Security,c=non-free origin security.debian.org .. what should I specify in the preferences file: ... Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 300 ... ? but then ... 500 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Packages release v=None,o=Debian,a=testing,l=Debian-Security,c=contrib origin security.debian.org ... too, has the same "a" field. Or should I specify all the fields - like Package: * Pin: release v=None,o=Debian,a=testing,l=Debian-Security,c=contrib Pin-Priority: 300 ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
