Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
I am currently trying to allow for the ability to install packages from
unstable on my woody system by using the -t option of apt-get. So to
this end I put in sources.list entries that point unstable and I put in
kodaira:/etc/apt# cat apt.conf
// I want to keep the woody stuff but have the ability to download
// stuff from unstable if I specify it on the command line of apt-get
// The weird thing is if I put in the name woody and put in the
// sources.list
// names for unstable I get way more package, i.e. I am presumably
// getting
// files from unstable. In short the name woody is ignored
APT::Default-Release "woody";
here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
deb ftp://debian30.math.uwaterloo.ca/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb ftp://debian30.math.uwaterloo.ca/debian-non-US woody/non-US main
contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org woody/updates main contrib non-free
OK, now if one runs apt-get -u upgrade:
kodaira:/etc/apt# apt-get -u upgrade

Need to get 181MB of

In short I would imagine it is simply about to slurp in stuff from
unstable even though I told it not to. Now on the other hand if I put
the line
APT::Default-Release "testing";
into /etc/apt/apt.conf then I get:
apt-get -u upgrade:
kodaira:/etc/apt# apt-get -u upgrade

15 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not

Need to get 6910kB of archives. After unpacking 1287kB will be used.
which I assume is indeed getting upgrades from woody and security
only.

'woody' is not a release name. You can only refer to it by testing, or
it's version number when it is release.
