Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Followup-For: Bug #177680

Dear Jason:

Here's an example for mozilla-browser.

apt-cache policy mozilla-browser:

mozilla-browser:
  Installed: 2:1.2.1-9
  Candidate: 2:1.2.1-9
  Version Table:
 *** 2:1.2.1-9 0

cat /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf:
   
Apt::Get::Purge;
APT::Cache-Limit 12582912;

Yes I do realize that systemwide downgrade is not officially supported
(heard that on IRC), nevertheless it has worked for me in the past
quite well and I am concerned why the policy is not getting set
correctly here.  This is really an independent issue from how well a
systemwide downgrade is managed.
