I noticed that, yes. I have a vague memory that Essential: yes may conflict with Section: misc (and thus it wouldn't be entirely surprising if it got ignored on that basis), but I don't recall where I found that - probably somewhere in the New Maintainers' Guide or in other Debian packaging documentation, but I don't recall exactly where. Might be worth looking into at some point. > In the meantime you can probably work around it with a 1001 pin. A pin of what to what? E.g., the following: ======== Package: removal-prevention Pin: version 1.0 Pin-Priority: 1001 ======== produces no change in behavior; dist-upgrade still wants to remove removal-prevention, and the packages it depends on. Similar things happen with "Pin: version *" on fglrx-driver or on other such packages; that's what I tried before even starting this thread. If it weren't for the fact that the iceweasel and icedove pins (in the same file) are being respected, I'd be tempted to wonder whether my preferences file was even being read... - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
