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
