You can not pin releases using codenames. You need to use the suite. Look at your system information, this does not work and it leads to bugs like this. You have to change lenny to testing and etch to stable (etch-backports stays, as suite==codename). This should fix your problem. > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 5.0 > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing') > Architecture: i386 (i686) -- Julian Andres Klode - Free Software Developer Debian Developer - Contributing Member of SPI Ubuntu Member - Fellow of FSFE Website: http://jak-linux.org/ XMPP: juliank@jabber.org Debian: http://www.debian.org/ SPI: http://www.spi-inc.org/ Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org/
