Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.45
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I recently added the unstable sources to my testing system to be able to easily
fetch some packages from unstable if necessary. To get the pinning right, I
added this line to a new file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
I also added appropriate pinning in /etc/apt/preferences.d/unstable:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 100
This is working all right for apt and aptitude - testing packages now have a
pinning of 990, unstable has 100, updates behave the way I want. However, the
apt-xapian-index cronjob failed with the following error message:
/etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index:
Traceback (most recent call last):

SystemError: E:The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such

Kind regards,
Ralf
