--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 0.6.36 Severity: normal Tags: experimental Hi, Pinning seems to be broken with APT 0.6. I'm using GNOME 2.10 from experimental so I have an /etc/apt/preferences file (included below), which worked fine with apt-0.5.28.6. However, apt-0.6.36 does not let me install packages from experimental: "apt-get upgrade -t experimental" does nothing. For example: $ apt-cache policy gnome-applets-data gnome-applets-data: Installed: 2.10.1-1 Candidate: 2.10.1-1 Version table: 2.10.1-2 0 1 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/ Packages *** 2.10.1-1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.8.2-1 0 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/main Packages According to /etc/apt/preferences version 2.10.1-2 should have priority 101, not 1.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, initially the bug is about a change in the distribution of experimental in 2005 (it is nowadays a "real" incomplete release pocket - not a flat archive). Later it talks about the documentation which changed over the course of the last few years, was recently reviewed by d-l10n-english and to my mail three years ago I received no answer. So i am closing this bug now for good. If you think this is wrong, feel free to reopen it. Best regards David Kalnischkies
