Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal Shouldn't apt-get give a warning when it ignores you? An example I just tried:
>apt-get install -t unstable ssh (because a new exploit was just discovered in OpenSSH). apt-get happily grabs a package and upgrades, without warning me that in fact I have forgotten to uncomment the unstable line in sources.list. It uses the testing version, even though I asked specifically for unstable. I only discovered this by using dpkg --status to compare the version installed with the desired unstable version. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Kernel Version: Linux robust.colorado.edu 2.4.10 #1 SMP Thu Oct 25 18:14:47 MDT 2001 i686 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-1 The GNU stdc++ library
