I have an idea it the Release file for volatile-sloppy. The diff with volatile's Release shows: @@ -1,6 +1,5 @@ -Archive: sarge-sloppy +Archive: sarge Component: volatile/main Origin: volatile.debian.net Label: debian-volatile -NotAutomatic: yes Architecture: powerpc The NotAutomatic: line in volatile-sloppy makes me immediately suspect that this tells apt to treat this archive with a very low priority unless told otherwise. Hence the need for manual apt/preferences tweaking to install things from volatile-sloppy. Of course, I know very little of the internals of apt, so I may be way off base, but this looks like the culprit to me.
