You have to use it right, for instance here is how your strace package
should look:
wakko{root}/#apt-cache policy strace
strace:
Installed: 4.2-4
Candidate: 4.4-1
Version Table:
4.4-1 0
500 http://gluck.debian.org sid/main Packages
*** 4.2-4 0
500 http://gluck.debian.org woody/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
wakko{root}/#apt-cache -o APT::Default-Release=testing policy strace
strace:
Installed: 4.2-4
Candidate: 4.2-4
Version Table:
4.4-1 0
500 http://gluck.debian.org sid/main Packages
*** 4.2-4 0
990 http://gluck.debian.org woody/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
If it looks like, say:
wakko{root}/#apt-cache -o APT::Default-Release=testing policy strace
strace:
Installed: 4.3-3
Candidate: 4.4-1
Version Table:
4.4-1 0
500 http://gluck.debian.org sid/main Packages
*** 4.3-3 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.2-4 0
990 http://gluck.debian.org woody/main Packages
Then upgrading to unstable is how it is documented to operate.
