How to pin certain packages from experimental?
Hi,
On a development system, I'd like to have experimental and unstable in
the sources.list, and to have experimental pinned down to a priority
tha experimental is never considered. For certain packages, I'd like
apt to consider experimental as well, taking whatever is newer from
experimental and unstable.
My sources.list:
deb http://debian.example/debian/ sid main contrib
deb http://debian.example/debian ../project/experimental main contrib
My preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: -12
Package: exim4-daemon-light
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 555
The system has exim4-daemon-light 4.50-1 installed. That version has
been in experimental, and has been removed from there when 4.50-2 was
uploaded to unstable. However, the system in question has not updated
automatically.
$ apt-cache policy exim4-daemon-light
exim4-daemon-light:
Installed: 4.50-1
Candidate: 4.50-1
Package Pin: (not found)
Version Table:
4.50-4 555
500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sid/main Packages
*** 4.50-1 555
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.44-2 555
500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sarge/main Packages
$
What am I doing wrong?
Greetings
Marc
