Hi, thanks but I find typos in your fix. I see you changed texts from
my patch. This is fine but typos are not :-)
The upcoming apt_preferences(5) manpage (e.g.: apt_0.7.26~exp2_i386.deb) states:
Preferences are a strong power in the hands of a system administrator
but they can become also their biggest nightmare if used without care!
APT will not questioning the preferences so wrong settings will
therefore lead to uninstallable packages or wrong decisions while
upgrading packages. Even more problems will arise if multiply
distribution releases are mixed without a good understanding of the
following paragraphs. You have been warned.
I think you need to run
s/questioning/question/
s/multiply/multiple/
on apt_preferences.5.xml to meke these understandable.
