[Touch-packages] [Bug 1516855] Re: apt shows downloads from -proposed pocket when it should use -updates pocket
apt selects which mirror/repo to download from based on their position in sources.list. If two mirrors contain the identical file, the first one will be picked, even if it's not actually the one that would win according to apt-cache policy. This is by design (based on the idea that you'll place closer/faster mirrors first), but I can see how it's disconcerting in this case. (We take advantage of this same feature in our default sources.list by always placing -updates before security, so people only fall back to the security mirror if their local updates is lagging behind). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516855 Title: apt shows downloads from -proposed pocket when it should use -updates pocket Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I wanted to test an SRU kernel in -proposed; as suggested by the Wiki page, I used the following apt preferences to pin the trusty-proposed pocket to a lower priority: $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates Package: * Pin: release a=trusty-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 After installing the kernel package, I started a normal update. apt-get -us dist-upgrade didn't show any updates coming via proposed, but the actual apt-get -u dist-upgrade claimed the packages were coming from trusty-proposed all the same: sarnold@hunt:/var/cache/apt$ sudo apt-get -us dist-upgrade | grep prop sarnold@hunt:/var/cache/apt$ sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading package lists...
