Package: apt
Version: 0.6.40.1
Severity: normal
I was trying to install the GTK packages from experimental, and was
unable to. I probably made a stupid mistake; but since I usually have no
problem installing experimental packages, I prefer filling a bug-report
in case there really is an issue.
Let's take the example of the package libgtk2.0-bin:
$ apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-bin
libgtk2.0-bin:
Installed: 2.6.9-1
Candidate: 2.6.9-1
Version table:
2.8.0-1 0
1 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/
Packages
*** 2.6.9-1 0
500 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
So a new package is available in experimental, and apt-cache knows about
it. I also verified that the packages are indeed present on the ftp
server where they are expected to be. But still I am unable to install
the packages:
$ grep Archive
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_project_experimental_main_binary-i386_Release
Archive: experimental
$ apt-get install libgtk2.0-bin/experimental
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Release 'experimental' for 'libgtk2.0-bin' was not found
$ apt-get -t experimental install libgtk2.0-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
libgtk2.0-bin is already the newest version.

Thanks, and sorry if I messed somewhere.
