That produces (imho) misleading output. It is telling me that I have
many more packages that come from unstable then I believe I should
have on a testing system. I have set pinning to prefer testing over
stable, but I've also installed a few packages from unstable - mostly
those that relate to X and nvidia stuff that isn't available in
testing (specifically, nvidia-kernel-source && nvidia-glx).
Yet, for instance, it says 'tar' comes from unstable.
apt-cache policy says:
tar:
Installed: 1.18-2
Candidate: 1.18-2
Version table:
1.19-1 0
600 http://ftp.debian.org sid/main Packages
*** 1.18-2 0
990 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
So, what is that aptitude command telling me?
