Subject: aptitude accepts /etc/apt/preferences but ignores
/etc/apt/preferences.d/*
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.3-3
Severity: normal
On a mixed sid/testing system, the same text behaves differently whether
placed in /etc/apt/preferences or in /etc/apt/preferences.d/pinning.
apt-get respects files placed in either location, and apt-cache policy
also shows the expected behavior. aptitude alone behaves this way.
I saw the same behavior on version 0.4.11.11-1+b2, and tried upgrading
to 0.6.1.3-3 to see if it was fixed in sid, but the misbehavior remains.
below is an example transcript showing the misbehavior.
