Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I noticed, since long time ago, that I was not anymore able to use
Apt-Pinning for installing packages from Stable and Testing Releases.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Everytime I try to use "APT-Pinning", I do not get what I want.
Even if I try /testing or -t testing, or any Release other than
Experimental, I only get error or Experimental list of packages.
Finally, apt-cache policy only return Sid and Experimental packages.
* What was the outcome of this action?
If I try
"apt-cache show -t testing linux-image-amd64"
OR
"apt-cache show linux-image-amd64/testing"
I get this with apt-get:
E: Release 'testing' for 'linux-image-amd64' was not found
E: No packages found
And this with aptitude:
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a
release is not available in the sources
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a
release is not available in the sources
Whatever I try, any package will be not available…
* What outcome did you expect instead?
As before, a list of packages from the asked Release, and the possibility to
install packages from testing, stable, etc…
