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:
Package Files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Packages release v=3.0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian-Security,c=updates/contrib origin security.debian.org 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages release v=3.0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian-Security,c=updates/main origin security.debian.org 500 /http://www.schuldei.org ./ Packages origin www.schuldei.org 500 file: sarge/contrib Packages release o=Debian,a=testing,l=Debian,c=contrib [...]
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...
AND... this is what it had:
1. the same apt: ii apt 0.5.23 Advanced front-end for dpkg
2. the same dumb output from apt-get dist-upgrade -s: [...] Inst x-window-system-core [4.3.0-0pre1v3] (4.3.0-7 Debian:testing) [...]
3. the same output from policy:
Package Files:
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
release a=now
500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Packages
release v=3.0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian-Security,c=updates/contrib
origin security.debian.org
500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
release v=3.0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian-Security,c=updates/main
origin security.debian.org
500 /http://www.schuldei.org ./ Packages
origin www.schuldei.org
500 file: sarge/main Packages
release o=Debian,a=testing,l=Debian,c=main
[...]But... I DID dist-upgrade and it DID NOT upgrade my X, so it DID NOT behave like apt-get dist-upgrade -s and DID behave according to the policy.
Checking bugs in apt... I did not find a bug that says something like "apt-get dist-upgrade -s does not really simulate".
My advise ;-) go ahead and do it, but do backup your system beforehand: the dist-upgrade WILL NOT upgrade your X.
