It is possible to override the pin for a single package. For example the following preferences file pins the package mutt with priority 1001: Package: mutt Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 But the following preferences file doesn't override the default pin created by APT::Default-Release: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
