Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: normal
I use apt-pinning to have sid available in my etch install:
tangerine:/etc# cat /etc/apt/preferences ; echo
Package: *
Pin: release unstable
Pin-Priority: -1
The "sid" packages appear in the aptitude listing, but their available
version appears as "none". This is a bit weird, but usually, this
allowed me to install sid packages "on the fly" using aptitude without
having to explicitely enable them in apt_preferences. I hit "enter" on
the package line, and there I see the package version from sid on which
i can hit "+" to tell aptitude to install.
The commandline equivalent to that is:
aptitude install foo/sid
(for package foo).
So now my problem is this:
tangerine:/etc# aptitude install linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/unstable

I can recompile with debugging symbols if necessary.
Apt-get deals with this properly and installs my package without a
groan, and I clearly remember aptitude being able to deal with this in
the past, either in previous "sarge" versions or etch, although
pinpointing the exact version number could be hard.
Thanks,
A.
