Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Severity: normal
Sorry, I am not sure if this is a bug or a PEBKAC. I do not want to use
gpsdrive from the repository at gpsdrive.de but I want to use opensteetmap-josm
from there.

For some reason the priority is not set according to what I intended. What
is wrong? apt or me?
Thanks :-)

Actually, apt is doing right.
Version 2.10preX is smaller that 2.10svnXXXXXXXX, you can check it with 'dpkg
--compare-versions'. So, despite the pin 500, all other available versions of
package is
smaller than installed, and apt would never downgrade package automatically
unless you
have exact version specified (for example, 'apt-get install gpsdrive=2.10pre6').
