Bug#256829: Preferences origin attribute ignored

["Carlos Barros" <carlos.wankel@gmail.com>]

Hello!

The problem in the report is that the user configured the origin with
double quotes.
the line must be in the form of:
-------------------------------------------
Package: *
Pin: origin debian.seabone.net
Pin-Priority: 1200
-------------------------------------------

without the quotes.

So you can close this old bug, and don't forget to change apt_preferences(5)
to eliminate the double quotes.

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.25

I want to keep the IPv6 version of Apache 1.3, so my /etc/apt/preferences
file contains:

Package: *
Pin: origin "debian.seabone.net"
Pin-Priority: 1200

However, apt-get wants to install a non-ipv6 version from
my local apt-proxy on machine croak.

Here's the output of
$ apt-cache policy apache
apache:
