Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.45
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I recently added the unstable sources to my testing system to be able to easily
fetch some packages from unstable if necessary. To get the pinning right, I
added this line to a new file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
I also added appropriate pinning in /etc/apt/preferences.d/unstable:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 100

This is working all right for apt and aptitude - testing packages now have a
pinning of 990, unstable has 100, updates behave the way I want. However, the
apt-xapian-index cronjob failed with the following error message:

/etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 102, in <module>
    indexer.incrementalUpdate()

incrementalUpdate
    self.updateIndex(dbpath)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/axi/indexer.py", line 630, in updateIndex
    cache = self.aptcache()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/axi/indexer.py", line 423, in aptcache
    self.apt_cache = apt.Cache(memonly=True, progress=aptprogress)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 102, in __init__
    self.open(progress)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 145, in open
    self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress)
SystemError: E:The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such
a release is not available in the sources
run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index exited with return code 1

Kind regards,
Ralf
