** Description changed: Binary package hint: aptitude Aptitude honors pinning settings in /etc/apt/preferences, but ignores any settings in /etc/apt/preferences.d/*. To reproduce, add - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic + deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main to your sources list and and entry of the form - Package: * - Pin: release o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-mozilla-daily - Pin-Priority: 101 + Package: * + Pin: release o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-mozilla-daily + Pin-Priority: 101 to the preferences file and observe that aptitude will try to upgrade firefox if the setting is in /etc/apt/preferences.d/, and (correctly) stick with the karmic version of the setting is made in /etc/apt/preferences.
