Hi,

These lines in /etc/apt/preferences downgrade gcc-4.0 using apt-get, but
not aptitude -

I found aptitude does respect these lines in /etc/apt/preferences -


Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 100


However downgrading remains impossible


Thanks for this report.

The fix was commited for VCS and will be present in the next release,
marking as +pending.


Cheers.
