Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
If two sources provide the same version of a package, that package is
forever upgradable in APT/aptitude. This happens even if one of the
sources has negative priority:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=feisty-backports
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy pkg-config
pkg-config:
Installed: 0.21-1
Candidate: 0.21-1
Version table:
0.21-1 0
-1 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages
0.21-1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages
*** 0.21-1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The package pkg-config is forever upgradable (and aptitude installs the
Ubuntu and Debian versions alternatively) unless I remove the Debian
repositories from my config.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
