Could you provide a non-working example please? It was more or less the first thing i did in APT and should be working since 0.7.21 (released on 29 Jun 2009). The bug looks like an unmerged duplicate of #97564 which was closed with this upload… At least the following works: Package: * Pin: release n=sid Pin-Priority: 300 Pin: release sid will also work - but a=sid not as a= stands for archive, so make sure to use the right release string. Make also sure that the archive you want to pin actually provides these values - you can find that out with "apt-cache policy" (yes, without a parameter).
