Re: unable to use backports repos

Hi Gerfried. Here is my scenario:

kody:~# cat /etc/debian_version
5.0.4
kody:~# smbclient -V
Version 3.2.5
kody:~# apt-cache showpkg smbclient 
Package: smbclient                  
Versions:                           
2:3.4.3-1~bpo50+2 (/var/lib/apt/lists/backports.org_debian_dists_lenny-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages)
 Description Language:                                                                                    
                 File: /var/lib/apt/lists/backports.org_debian_dists_lenny-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages
                  MD5: 1bfa7b5a40f9af5e4a8366e1b984f60d                                                      
THERE IS A MORE UPDATED PACKAGE IN THE BACKPORTS REPO, SO, IT SHOULD UPDATE.
2:3.2.5-4lenny8 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.br.debian.org_debian_dists_lenny_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
 Description Language:

                  MD5: b5d9dd7e98f830a6dc56073d0f9ccc6b                                                                  

2:3.2.5-4lenny7 (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages)
 Description Language:

Abort.
OK, WORKS, BUT I WANT WITH ALL MY SYSTEM.
kody:~# cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

So, i still can't understand why apt can't get the packages from the backports repo automatically. Any other idea? Tks in advance.

I tryed to put the preferences file in the /etc/apt directory, as it is  
said in the instructions. I have no errors, but i can't use the  
backports repo either. Is there something that i'm missing?
    
 You are missing a deeper description of your problem, like what you
have tried, what you have expected and what has happened instead.
Without that it's hard to be able to figure out what your problem might
be.

 Have a nice day,
Rhonda
