I'm on debian stable (squeeze), but would like to be able to install a few packages from testing (wheezy). I tried to set up apt pinning, but it doesn't seem to work quite right. When I apt-get install something now, it all comes from wheezy even if there are squeeze versions of the package. It's almost like the preferences file isn't getting read.
Is there anything wrong with the configuration below? Is there any way to get apt to spit out it's internal model of the priorities so I can verify that everything is actually getting loaded? /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release a=squeeze Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=wheezy Pin-Priority: 650 /etc/apt/sources.list: # Debian packages for squeeze deb http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/debian/ squeeze main contrib # Wheezy deb http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/debian/ wheezy main contrib -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
