Bug#321799: apt: pkgPolicy::Pin is access private: while vector<Pin> variable is access protected:

["Peter Rockai (mornfall)" <me@mornfall.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: normal


Hello, in policy.h the class pkgPolicy has nested struct Pin, which
is private: and a member variable std::vector<Pin>, which is however
protected:. I suppose it's protected to allow subclasses to access it,
but since the Pin struct is private:, this isn't really possible. At
least since g++ 4.0... Same goes for struct PkgPin.

Yours,
    Peter.
