this shows (and the other one for linux-image shows the same) that eventhough you said you've copied the stuff from the wiki for /etc/apt/preferences, it's not used by apt (since 0.7.5-17~artax1 is at priority 500, not 999; and 0.7.2-1 is at 900, which is totally off). that can have two reasons: a) your /etc/apt/prefrerences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/* is wrong b) you have not imported the archive signing keys for artax, or you have at least another repository in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d that has its key not imported. for a), like i said, you don't need the pinning at all, if you only have the debian.org sources and artax-backports, then you can remove /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/* entirely, and just use apt-get install -t artax-backports lxc etc. for b), make sure that if you do 'apt-get update', you don't get any warnings about untrusted repositories. > Now I imagine the fault could be in /etc/apt/preferences, which I set per > your example in http://wiki.progress-linux.org/software/apt/ to be as so: [...] > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable > Pin-Priority: 900 > > Package: * > Pin: release o=Debian > Pin-Priority: -10 this is wrong, i don't know why you put this in, the wiki page doesn't tell you to do that. it's wrong on any circumstance, unrelated to progress linux. > Why is it really more sensible to spend my time debugging this > stuff than it would be to just build a custom kernel? if you do exactely (and not more, not less, and nothing different) what i told you, stuff works right away. if you deviate, of course, it needs some one time fiddling. after that, you get all the kernel updates for free at no more work than a simple apt-get upgrade. otoh, if you build your own, you would be building all kernel updates for yourself all the time until you upgrade to wheezy. to me, the disadvantages of that seems obvious, ymmv. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
