I'm not working with Ubuntu systems, as I was when I made the request.
Just wanted to offer thanks.

Title:
Aptitude ignores
I can confirm the bug is fixed in Lucid. Aptitude now respects the
preferences file(s) in /etc/apt/preferences.d/.
@Rolf:
It is very easy to replicate.
Create a preferences file:
Package: totem-mozilla
Pin: version 2.30.0git20100413-0ubuntu1
Pin-Priority: 1001
Remove totem-mozilla package.

Wesley, as you can see from my comment #23 I already have a pinning
preferences file. And the correct values are picked up whether the file
is named /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences.
Therefore, as far as I am concerned the issue does not exist.
How about you run the
I'd appreciate somebody reconfirm what I wrote in #23 and #26 before
this is considered ready for upload to -updates. Again, the issue as I
understand it does not exist here.

Rolf, 35 people confirmed this bug. If you look at the debdiff above,
it's also very obvious that there has been a problem. Please stop
spamming.

@Rolf, apt-cache is NOT aptitude. It is provided by the apt package not
by aptitude. So you see the correct pinning values with apt-cache
policy, but aptitude is not respecting it. Which is the bug :)
In other words, replace install the totem-mozilla package with :
aptitude -y -s totem-mozilla
I have reproduced the problem with aptitude 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10 in lucid
following the steps described by Wesley in comment 25 and have verified
that the version of aptitude 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10lucid1 in -proposed
fixes the issue.

Ralf, you are right, my apologies. I have since transitioned away from
Ubuntu, because for me bugfixes took too long to reach LTS releases.
That is probably the reason why I get quickly annoyed when asked to
reconfirm bugs or fixes. There are several bugs that I've been
reconfirming every 6

Hello Nikolaus, or anyone else affected,
Accepted aptitude into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in
I did sudo mv /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.d/ before
adding the package from -proposed. My lucid system still correctly
shows me the pinning values. So, I cannot verify that the current lucid

astrostl, this is not yet generally released. For that to happen,

Usually when the fix is committed to some repository, the Bug Watcher
Updater post here with the version it should be fixed. This is probably
waiting for some approval or confirmation...

This bug also affects the Lucid version of aptitude. I tried with a file
in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ without extension and with .pref extension
and the bug still manifests.

I can confirm this bug. I created a file with pinning settings in
/etc/apt/preferences.d, but aptitude or the Gnome tools used by Ubuntu
ignored it (apt-get worked fine). I moved the contents of the file to
/etc/apt/preferences (file) and everything was OK.

I tried it too; aptitude ignores .pref files. But apt-cache policy shows
it as it should.
