As I already wrote, you should be able to reproduce this by setting the pin to
a non-existing release. And it only happens when the priority is >=1000.
I can reproduce this with any package I want to using apt 0.7.21~exp1.
/etc/apt/preferences:
Package: apt
Pin: release x
Pin-Priority: 1000
jak@hp:~/Desktop$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 0.7.21~exp1
Candidate: (none)
Package pin: (not found)
Version table:
*** 0.7.21~exp1 1000
400 http://ftp.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
0.7.20 1000
990 http://ftp.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages
If you use 999 it works:
jak@hp:~/Desktop$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 0.7.21~exp1
Candidate: 0.7.21~exp1
Package pin: (not found)
Version table:
*** 0.7.21~exp1 999
400 http://ftp.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
0.7.20 999
990 http://ftp.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages
