Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: aptitude
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "jaunty";
Is ignored, with no errors (that I noticed). Aptitude happily goes
about attempting to upgrade my entire system to karmic.
The apt.conf man page says "Release codenames (´etch´, ´lenny´ etc.) are
not allowed now." This displeases me greatly, but it should die with an
error saying that the Default-Release value is not valid, not ignore it.
This appears to work:
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "9.04";
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
# apt-cache policy aptitude
aptitude:
Installed: 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu1
** Affects: aptitude (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
