Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
Using 10.10 RC, I copied over my apt preferences from Lucid (see attachment). It is used to prevent installing some packages I don't want. The problem is that when installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, apt still wants to install ttf-liberation. Here's an example of what I have in /etc/apt/preferences: Package: ttf-liberation Pin: version 0.0 Pin-Priority: 1001 And here's what I get with apt-cache policy (I remember having the same output in Lucid): Pinned packages: postfix -> (not found) ttf-liberation -> (not found) flashplugin-installer -> (not found) citadel-server -> (not found) wine -> (not found) ttf-mscorefonts-installer -> (not found) flashplugin-nonfree -> (not found) msttcorefonts -> (not found) And what I get with apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras: $ LANG=C sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Reading package lists...
