Severity: normal
I am sorry if this is a known issue or a configuration error on my
system. I researched this issue for a long time and couldn't find a
solution, so I think it's a bug ;)
When I do
apt-get install bash
apt-get will download and install the same bash package everytime. Also,
each apt-get upgrade will install the same 9 packages again and again,
although they are already installed.
This started when I added my own repository:
deb http://debian.nethype.de/ ./
deb-src http://debian.nethype.de/ ./
which contains alternative versions of these 9 packages The Release file
can be downloaded there and contains "nethype" for archive, origin etc.,
but playing around with that didn't change anything.
My preferences file looks as follows:
Package: *
Pin: release o=nethype
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -70
That is, use packages from "nethype" no matter what, and this works
(apt-get install bash indeed installs the nethype version). Changing that
priority from 1001 to 999 or so doesn't change anything.
Also, "apt-get install bash/nethype" will still result in the same
behaviour: apt-get will download and install the package again.
So it seems apt-get installs the package but then forgets about it,
thinking it needs to upgrade it again and again.
Thanks for any feedback.

You must assign unique version numbers to all packages that are
different.
