Re: Want to set apt pin-priority lower for none debian sites
What's the url of this Release file? I couldn't find it. http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian/dists/sarge/linex/binary-i386/ It seems to be logical, stupid that I haven't found it on my own. Nevertheless, thank you. Florian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Want to set apt pin-priority lower for none debian sites
Hi, I want to assign a lower priority to packages which come from other sites than debian.org. The problem: testing is my target release. In my sources.list there the following entries: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian stable main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian testing main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib deb http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian sarge linex ... # apt-cache policy mozilla-firefox mozilla-firefox: Installed: 1.0.6-1.linex1 Candidate: 1.0.6-1.linex1 Version Table: 1.0.6-5 0 400 http://ftp.at.debian.org unstable/main Packages *** 1.0.6-1.linex1 0 990 http://www.linex.org sarge/linex Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.0.4-2sarge3 0 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages 990 http://ftp.at.debian.org testing/main Packages 1.0.4-2 0 400 http://ftp.at.debian.org stable/main Packages But this is not what I want. I want to have 1.0.4-2sarge3 0 installed. Automatically! Does anyone know, if this possible (by changing the apt_preferences, for example). I have tried a lot of ways, but no success.

I had the same problem with Ubuntu packages trying to upgrade unstable packages and put Package:* Pin: origin ubuntu Pin-Priority: 100 in my preferences file so they will only install if they are the only version of that package available e.g. mplayer-amd64 is not in debain proper so it is installed. AFAIK this will only work if the 'origin' flag is set on the package from linex. HTH Wackojacko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

[snip] From the output of apt-cache, the LinEx package is labeled sarge, which is Stable, not Testing. You should therefore add the following to /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 500 Or rather: Package: * Pin: release a=Etch Pin-Priority: 1000 The latter would directly give a higher priority to Etch packages, and make you forget about stable or unstable. Some say a=Etch is not supported, and that it should read a=testing. I have a=Etch and it is working so far. Do any of the two /etc/apt/preferences inputs I give do the trick? However, one would wonder why you include the 4th and 5th lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list... why not just comment them out?

There you find things like origin, label, etc. Concerning the linex site: I couldn't access the Release file with a browser, I don't know the exact url, but I could filter it as release c=linex. Unfortunately it all depends on the owner of the repository. I would prefer to depend it on the site address, since this is real.

I opened it with kwrite, unfortunately its origin is 'debian' so I dont think this will help :) The confusion is being cused by the fact that this site still has sarge as testing! You could try pinning the packages you want to hold at earlier versions using Package: mozilla* Pin: version 1.0.4* Pin-Priority: 1001 other than that I'm out of ideas.

What's the url of this Release file? I couldn't find it. Especially for this site I could use the component filter (release c=linex), so I can solve it this way. You could try pinning the packages you want to hold at earlier versions using Package: mozilla* Pin: version 1.0.4* Pin-Priority: 1001 Hm, the way above seems to be better. Thank you for your help.
