Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: normal


I am trying to downgrade libmailutils0 and mailutils back to woody.
In my preferences, woody is pinned to 9999, and all the rest to
negative values as you can see below. 

Here's apt-cache policy: 


marie:~# apt-cache policy libmailutils0
libmailutils0:
  Installed: 1:0.6.1-4
  Candidate: 1:0.6.1-4
  Version Table:
     1:0.6.90-1 0
        -40 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
        -40 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
 *** 1:0.6.1-4 0
       -150 http://ftp.us.debian.org stable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     20020409-1woody2 0
        500 http://security.debian.org woody/updates/main Packages
     20020409-1 0
       -150 http://ftp.us.debian.org woody/main Packages


Now, let's try downgrading: 


marie:~# apt-get -u install libmailutils0

Hi,

thanks for your report!

I am happy to tell you that the codename support you asked for
in this bugreport is implemented for a while now (since 0.7.22)
and we just forgot to mark this bug as fixed.

So i am doing this now.


Best regards

David Kalnischkies
