Bug#225834: apt: Pinning does not seem to work in experimental
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.9
Severity: normal
I just upgraded from apt 0.5.14 to the new apt in experimental. Now
pinning does not seem to work any longer. Maybe I'm missing something,
but my configuration worked perferctly with 0.5.14 and I can't figure
out why it should not work with the new version.
All packages are assigned their standard priorities, e.g.
pweis@zaphod:~$ apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 0.6.9
Candidate: 0.6.9
Version Table:

Pinning of single packages with "Pin: version" works alright though.
