Hello list,
I am about to install a particular package from wheezy on a squeeze
system. Packages from wheezy should be pinned to a priority of 50. While
configuring and testing apt I found that apt searches for German
translations although the system's locale is en_US.utf8 and pinning
priorities seem not to be applied to translations.
I have added wheezy main to sources.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
And I have assigned a pin priority of 50 to testing in apt's preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 50
The system's local initially was de_DE and I have changed that to
en_US.utf8 by running "dpkg-reconfigure locales". "locale" shows
"LANG=en_US.utf8" and "locale -a" does not list any de locale.
Why is apt still querying German translations and how can that be avoided?
Furthermore, wheezy translations are assigned a priority of 500. I would
expect them to have a priority of 50.
"apt-cache policy" output:

Pinned packages:
Or should I not care about this at all since these translations only
contain package descriptions?
Thanks for your assistance,
Dirk
