Based on examples from 'man apt_preferences' (untested): Package: r-base-* Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: <same-as-wheezy> Notes: - from a quick reading of the man page it seems to be possible to put all patterns space-separated in the Package: field, otherwise just write one stanza for each pattern - replace <same-as-wheezy> with the priority for wheezy (650 in your current setup, 990 if you go by my suggestion) - do check the pin(s) with 'apt-cache policy' and 'apt-cache policy <packagename>' before doing any installation/upgrade Hope this helps, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
