Re: apt/preferences and dselect
Hi, apt_preferences are GREAT!
I used to set same kind of pin but I think it is better to set pin for
unstable below 100 to when a unstable package get renewed, it stays
same and eventually tracks testing. (But this is your choice. Nothing
wrong here, see below.)
It should work. Did you update in dselect? "apt-get update" is not
enough for dselect. This may be the reason you do not see galeon. I see
it from my WS.
If this does not work, show us what is the result of
$ apt-cache policy galeon
