Been trying to get Julien's repository to work semi-automatically for this new Ubuntu box and I seem to have hit a snag with my version pinning config. I'm used to the /etc/apt/preferences file format, but now I see there is a preferences.d directory, which is certainly a cleaner way to manage it.
I have the following at the end of my sources.lst file: deb http://packages.kirya.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.kirya.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free and added the key so that secure apt works (I see the following in my output from an update): Hit http://packages.kirya.net sid/main Packages I created a file called dspam in the directory and placed the following in it: Package: dspam Pin-Priority: 888 Pin: release a=sid then tried an apt-cache policy, which ended its output with: Pinned packages: dspam -> (not found) So I tried Package: dspam Pin-Priority: 888 Pin: release o=Debian,a=sid and then Package: dspam Pin-Priority: 888 Pin: release o=Debian,a=sid origin packages.kirya.net/debian/pool/main/d/dspam with the same result. I suspect this is something fairly simple, and once I see a working example it will all make more sense. thanks... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Dspam-user mailing list Dspam-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspam-user
