Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: minor With both testing and unstable listed in /etc/apt/sources.list (unstable firsrt, then testing) and the default release set to testing, it is possible for apt to indicate that files are being pulled from unstable. For this to happen, unstable entries must be listed first in the sources.list, and the desired version of a package must exist in both testing and unstable.
At this point an "apt-get install" of the package will indicate that the file is being pulled from unstable. It would appear that apt is pulling the package from the first sources.list entry with the desired version without concern for the release of the entry. IMHO, apt should first filter the possible sources.list entries to only consider the correct release. While the end result in the cases I've tested is the same desired package, the indicaction provided the end user is misleading. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux cerberus 2.4.16-686 #1 Wed Nov 28 09:27:17 EST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-7 The GNU stdc++ library -- Jamin W.
