I don't agree.
Releases are just a convenient way of selecting versions of packages, it is not (as far as I know) intended to distinguish between particular sources of packages. > Identical :-( Something else is wrong, then, as it is supposed to prefer them in order. Does it work correctly if you remove the pins, then list the file: source first? sources.list(5): It is important to list sources in order of preference, with the most preferred source listed first. Typically this will result in sorting by speed from fastest to slowest (CD-ROM followed by hosts on a local net- work, followed by distant Internet hosts, for example). -- - mdz
