Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

Shouldn't apt-get give a warning when it ignores you?  An example I just tried:

>apt-get install -t unstable ssh

(because a new exploit was just discovered in OpenSSH).  
apt-get happily grabs a package and upgrades, without warning me that in fact I
have forgotten to uncomment the unstable line in sources.list.  It uses the
testing version, even though I asked specifically for unstable.  I only discovered
this by using dpkg --status to compare the version installed with the desired
unstable version.

That was fixed some time ago for APT::Default-Release and -t, so I am
closing this now. It still does not warn you about non-matching preferences
files, but that is now a bit out of scope of this bug report.

Be friendly, do not top-post, and follow RFC 1855 "Netiquette".
    - If you don't I might ignore you.
