I, too, still see similar symptoms, but I believe the cause to be different. My patch fixes the code that groups identical package versions together; without patching, it sometimes fails to do that, i.e. it fails to see that a version of higher priority is in fact identical to the installed version. By patching apt-cache.cc so that apt-cache policy prints the hash value of each version group I can see that pkgCacheGenerator::MergeList() works correctly. Perhaps the hash calculation is broken? -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren@lysator.liu.se
