Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
With both testing and unstable listed in /etc/apt/sources.list (unstable
firsrt, then testing) and the default release set to testing, it is
possible for apt to indicate that files are being pulled from unstable.
For this to happen, unstable entries must be listed first in the
sources.list, and the desired version of a package must exist in both
testing and unstable.
At this point an "apt-get install" of the package will indicate that the
file is being pulled from unstable.
It would appear that apt is pulling the package from the first
sources.list entry with the desired version without concern for the
release of the entry. IMHO, apt should first filter the possible
sources.list entries to only consider the correct release.
While the end result in the cases I've tested is the same desired package,
the indicaction provided the end user is misleading.
