Hi I'm trying to combine several package repositories, some of them are marked as stable, some as unstable. All those repositories contains various versions of some packages. I use origin tag from Release file to pin priorities to packages from this repositories. Here is snippet from my /etc/apt/preferences file:
Package: * Pin: release o=originA,a=unstable Pin-Priority: 800 Package: * Pin: release o=originB,a=unstable Pin-Priority: 700 Problem occurs when I want to install package from originA and originB has that package in newer version. I do use apt-get install packagename/unstable since that system is stable with few packages from unstable. But apt always tries to install package version from originB, even if it has lower priority (according to apt_preferences(5), it should not do that). Is there any way to tell apt, which version it should install? Or did I mess those priorities? Docs only describe simple repository combinations (like stable + testing or testing + unstable). Anyway, those many repositories seems to confuse apt-show-versions too (or I don't understand how is should work ;). apt-show-versions -p packagename -a prints only currently installed version, the newest version in stable and the newest version in unstable, even if there are at least 4 different version of that package in various repositories listed in sources.list. Btw: Experiments with APT::Default-Release and setting priorities to values over 990 was unsuccessful ;(. Is there any way how to make it work as I expect it? Any ideas appreciated... -th.
