Bug#535512: (no subject)
reopen 535512
thanks
aptitude needs to be modified to support /etc/apt/preferences.d, too. It
currently calls ReadPinFile and not ReadPinDir.
Actually, I realized after marking this as affecting aptitude that this
will probably also affect all the APT frontends and bindings in existence.
(http://google.com/codesearch?q=ReadPinFile and some hand searching finds
adept, aptitude, debtags, gnome-apt, libept, packagekit, python-apt,
synaptic, update-manager, update-notifier, plus miscellaneous packages
that aren’t currently in Debian.)
Perhaps we should think of a way to make this change without requiring
everyone to start using a new libapt API?
