Hi Boyd,
I think in both these cases you are being bit by having APT::Default-Release
"testing" in /etc/apt/apt.conf(.d). The relevant quote from man 5
apt_preferences is "The target release can be set on the apt-get command line
or in the APT configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf. Note that this has
precedence over any general priority you set in the /etc/apt/preferences file
described later, but not over specifically pinned packages."
thanks for the pointer, which has enabled me to solve my problem.
Regards,
Michael
