Agreed, a pin priority of 1001 should do the trick, I have run some tests with the following and it seems to work okay. -- Package: * Pin: release a=8.10.xx Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: * Pin: release a=intrepid Pin-Priority: 100 -- I will try to do some more testing, but I think you nailed it. :) Thanks for chirping in on this, my original idea of prefixing with 666 may have proved to be somewhat devilish :D -- Philip _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~crunchbangers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~crunchbangers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
