Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.6.1-1.1
Severity: normal
I have a private apt repository which is pinned to -1 per default:
Package: *
Pin: origin jorrit.de
Pin-Priority: -1
I then select individual packages from that repository on individual
machines:
Package: gaia
Pin: origin jorrit.de
Pin-Priority: 500
That particular package was dropped from my repository long ago, but
today appeared in Debian/testing (main). Aptitude correctly listed it
as a new package, but incorrectly without any available version:
--\ New Packages
--\ x11 - The X window system and related software
--\ main - The main Debian archive
p gaia <none>
<none>
This usually only happens for packages which have all versions known
to aptitude pinned to -1. However, the version from testing is not
pinned to -1, as apt-cache shows:
joe@jupiter:~$ LANG=C apt-cache policy gaia
gaia:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Package pin: (not found)
Version table:
0.1.2-4 500
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages
The complete apt-preferences file is attached.
Thanks,
Jö.

Hi,
this looks like an (older) duplicate of #512318.
The problem seems to be that you pinned the package to a specific
version which doesn't exist (anymore), so APT didn't find a candidate.
I am therefore closing this bug now, feel free to reopen if you disagree.
