Package: apt
Version: 0.6.38
Severity: normal

Hi,

apt doesn't respect the pin priority specified in
/etc/apt/preferences. With the attached file, I get

| # apt-cache policy aptitude
| aptitude:
|   Installed: 0.2.15.9-3
|   Candidate: 0.2.15.9-3
|   Package pin: 0.2.15.9-3
|   Version table:
|  *** 0.2.15.9-3 700
|         550 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
|      0.2.15.9-2 700
|         600 http://ftp.de.debian.org sarge/main Packages
|         550 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages

I would expect the priority of the unstable version to be 700, as specified in /etc/apt/preferences.

If replace the package name with a wildcard, things work like they should. So with "Package: *" instead of "Package: aptitude", I get

| # apt-cache policy aptitude
| aptitude:
|   Installed: 0.2.15.9-3
|   Candidate: 0.2.15.9-3
|   Version table:
|  *** 0.2.15.9-3 0
|         700 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
|      0.2.15.9-2 0
|         600 http://ftp.de.debian.org sarge/main Packages
|         550 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages

What is going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

As you just proved yourself, the priority of the unstable version is 700, as
indicated by the Package pin and the 700 at the right side of the version.
