$ apt-cache policy live-build
live-build:
  Installed: 2.0.12-2
  Candidate: 2.0.12-2
  Version table:
     2.0.12+20111008.143807~60squeeze+1 0
        500 http://live.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-snapshots/main amd64 Packages
 *** 2.0.12-2 0
        990 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I also tried the usual: 'aptitude -t squeeze-snapshots install live-build'
But it didn't work. Now I understand the problem though. The
preferences are not read correctly. I have to tweak them, since the
repository only has a priority of 500 instead of the 1000 that I
specified in /etc/apt/preferences

What is the usual way to handle the preferences for live.debian.net ?

Thanks
