Hi folks, I've been using sarge for some time, and i've never quite got my apt-pinning right. It's all fairly straightforward - i want to track stable, use volatile for the important things, and occasionally pull packages from unstable. Here are the relevant lines from my /etc/apt/sources.list: > deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free > deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free > deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free > deb http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile sarge/volatile main Here's my /etc/apt/preferences: > Package: * > Pin: origin security.debian.org > Pin-Priority: 900 > > Package: * > Pin: origin volatile.debian.net > Pin-Priority: 800 > > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable > Pin-Priority: 700 > > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing > Pin-Priority: 200 > > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable > Pin-Priority: 100 > > Explanation: see http://www.argon.org/~roderick/apt-pinning.html > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian > Pin-Priority: -1 As i understand it, this should prioritise security above everything, followed by volatile. When i run 'apt-show-versions|grep clam', i get: > clamav-base/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 > clamav-freshclam/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 > clamav-daemon/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 > clamav-docs/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 > libclamav1/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 > clamav/unstable upgradeable from 0.85.1-0volatile1 to 0.86-1 Yet 'apt-get dist-upgrade' tells me there is nothing to upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul <http://paulgear.webhop.net> -- Did you know? OpenOffice.org has built-in PDF creation. Better yet, it's compatible with Microsoft Office, and free!
