Not enough -- also need the '1:' part (i.e., 1:1.1.2-6lenny1):
% apt-cache policy nfs-common
nfs-common:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:1.1.2-6lenny1
Version table:
1:1.1.3-2 0
50 http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca unstable/main Packages
1:1.1.2-6lenny1 0
300 http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca lenny/main Packages
% apt-get install nfs-common=1.1.2-6lenny1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '1.1.2-6lenny1' for 'nfs-common' was not found
See, won't work. But...
% apt-get install nfs-common=1:1.1.3-2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libevent1 libgssglue1 libnfsidmap2 librpcsecgss3 nfs-common portmap
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libevent1 libgssglue1 libnfsidmap2 librpcsecgss3 nfs-common portmap
Adding the '1:' part allows me to install from unstable even the candidate
is from lenny, without any pinning!
