This is what the manual says, but this doesn't work.
I have:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 200
and I tried to add either
Package: libpng2
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 50
or
Package: libpng2
Pin: version 1.0.12-6
Pin-Priority: 50
either before or after the generic rules. In each case, the upgrade
to version 1.0.12-6 (current testing) is proposed by apt-get upgrade.
According to another user, even a negative Pin-Priority doesn't work.
See <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174200>.
I also get:
$ apt-cache policy libpng2
libpng2:
Installed: 1.0.12-3.woody.3
Candidate: 1.0.12-6
Package Pin: 1.0.12-6

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
(Note: the unstable version can't be installed on my machine because
of dependencies.)
