I'm currently using XFree86 4.2 and I don't want to upgrade the X server and X applications for the moment, because of bugs. I've added the following to my /etc/apt/preferences file:
Package: xfree86-common Pin: version 4.2.* Pin-Priority: 950
Package: xserver-common Pin: version 4.2.* Pin-Priority: 950
Package: xserver-xfree86 Pin: version 4.2.* Pin-Priority: 950
to stay with 4.2 (I don't know if there is a better solution). But apt-get dist-upgrade -s says:
[...] Remv x-window-system-core (4.3.0-7 Debian:testing) [...]
whereas only 4.2.1-12.1 is currently installed. Is it a bug in apt-get or what...?
I don't understand it either. I have as only entry in preferences:
Package: * Pin: origin schuldei.org Pin-Priority: 999
My X packages come from there:
deb /http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby/ ./
Yet, here too, apt-get dist-upgrade -s gets:
[...] Inst x-window-system [4.3.0-0pre1v3] (4.3.0-7 Debian:testing) [...]
But apt-cache policy gets:

[...]The apt that is installed is:
ii apt 0.5.23 Advanced front-end for dpkg
However, I did this very thing on the 29th of March and everything went OK. I have a backup of just before that upgrade ;-) gotten burned once too often. I will restore it and see what apt that had...
Can anybody shed light on this?
