I haven't followed this thread carefully enough to know the entire situation, but would it work to set up a pin (see apt_preferences(8))? Package: fam Pin: release a=* Pin-Priority: -1000 (can you say release a=*? try with release a=stable if a=* doesn't work.) [off topic] One small wish I have is for Package: apt* to work. As it is, Package is either a fixed package name, or *. If there's a group of packages that you want to pin, you have to name them one at a time. A regex or glob expression would be nice. I guess I should just go file a wishlist bug. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
