Re: apt-get wants to upgrade package to same version?

So another words, it is not sufficient to simply disable an apt-get
source line by giving it a priority of -1, I must also delete that line
from sources.list too?
(as normally this entry is my first preference).
I suspect this is a more general problem with apt-get that it assumes
that if two versions of the same package are available from different
sources, then both packages will be exactly the same. As such, it will
always use the Packages entry from the first Packages file it finds,
because it assumes the other entries will be the same anyway.
Maybe apt should really provide a warning if it finds this assumption is
incorrect?
