I can't find, at the moment, what you're referring to, but I did just find the cause of my headache: a preferences file containing pins. This had been sitting there for months (at least), and causing no trouble at all, but moving it away makes everything work again. The file had this: Package: * #Pin: origin localhost:9999/multimedia Pin: origin www.debian-multimedia.org Pin-Priority: 200 Package: * #Pin: origin localhost:9999/debian Pin: origin localhost Pin-Priority: 600 I still have no idea what's going on here, but at least my package management is currently functional.
