Again.
Is there any replacement? Or a way to make aptitude ignore
experimental packages?
Note: I still want to keep experimental in my sources.list for the
cases where I *explicitly* request experimental packages.
You could try creating a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d with the following
content:
APT::Default-Release "unstable";
man 5 apt.conf" says the following:
Default-Release
Default release to install packages from if more than one
version is available. Contains release name, codename or
release version. Examples: 'stable', 'testing', 'unstable',
'stretch', 'buster', '4.0', '5.0*'. See also
apt_preferences(5).
