Package: ftp.debian.org The package priorities on security.debian.org differ from the ones in the main archive, as can be seen in the following example where exim4 has Priority: optional in stable, but Priority: standard in stable-security:
,---- | $ LANG=C apt-cache policy exim4 | exim4: | Installed: (none) | Candidate: 4.89-3 | Version table: | 4.89-3 500 | 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main i386 Packages | 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages | 4.89-2+deb9u1 500 | 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main i386 Packages | 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main amd64 Packages | 4.89-2 500 | 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Packages | 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages | $ LANG=C apt-cache show exim4 | grep -E '^(Version|Priority)' | Version: 4.89-3 | Priority: optional | Version: 4.89-2+deb9u1 | Priority: standard | Version: 4.89-2 | Priority: optional `---- I would have expected $suite/updates on security.debian.org to carry the same overrides as $suite on ftp.debian.org. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64
