Thank you Dominik. I thought I had tested /etc/apt/preferences but obviously I had not.
Under Karmic aptitude does respect the policies set in /etc/apt/preferences but not preferences.d/*. The tools apt-cache and apt-get also respect the policies in /etc/apt/preferences. -- Aptitude ignores apt_preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
