Bug#27618: apt: apt-get does not honor orders of URI in sources.list
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.6
man-page of apt-get & sources.list says this:
It is important to list sources in order of preference,
with the most preferred source listed first. Typically
And in my point of view it doesn't work this way - as it is always
sorts the the packages and build its own sorted list -
and in this list is project/experimental always the last one.
That means all packages from this source try to overwrite
those in unstable or in hamm.
I have tried every combination (even with hamm URI) and
packages were always sorted this way:
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org hamm/binary-i386/ Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org slink/binary-i386/ Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org hamm/contrib Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org hamm/main Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org hamm/non-free Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org project/experimental/ Packages
which is what I don't want.
I think if the apt wouldn't do this it should also fix the bug
Get http://ftp.de.debian.org project/experimental/ Packages
#27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
As with http method is not the problem to have packages from
project/exprimental, but standard packages from slink or hamm.
