Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
Hello, I added this PPA to my sources.list.d to upgrade my OpenSSH version to a newer one: https://launchpad.net/~rainct/+archive/ppa I currently use Ubuntu Hardy: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS Release: 8.04 $ apt-cache policy apt apt: Installato: 0.7.9ubuntu17.2 Candidato: 0.7.9ubuntu17.2 Tabella versione: *** 0.7.9ubuntu17.2 0 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.7.9ubuntu17 0 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages So I created an /etc/apt/preferences file with the following content: {{{ Package: openssh-* Pin: release o=LP-PPA-rainct Pin-Priority: 900 Package: ssh* Pin: release o=LP-PPA-rainct Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-rainct Pin-Priority: -10 }}} to pin only the OpenSSH packages and to exclude all other packages coming from the repository but it doesn't work. To effectively pin the packages I had to pin every single package name and I think this is not a correct behaviour because of the ability to exclude all other packages by the "*".
