--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 1.4~beta1 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I noticed, since long time ago, that I was not anymore able to use Apt-Pinning for installing packages from Stable and Testing Releases. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Everytime I try to use "APT-Pinning", I do not get what I want. Even if I try /testing or -t testing, or any Release other than Experimental, I only get error or Experimental list of packages. Finally, apt-cache policy only return Sid and Experimental packages. * What was the outcome of this action? If I try "apt-cache show -t testing linux-image-amd64" OR "apt-cache show linux-image-amd64/testing" I get this with apt-get: E: Release 'testing' for 'linux-image-amd64' was not found E: No packages found And this with aptitude: E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources Whatever I try, any package will be not available… * What outcome did you expect instead? As before, a list of packages from the asked Release, and the possibility to install packages from testing, stable, etc… *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "true"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.7\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.8\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-signed-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-backports-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-tools"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/test -e /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service && /usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 4 --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update > /dev/null; /bin/echo > /dev/null"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "if /usr/bin/test -w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then appstreamcli refresh-cache > /dev/null; fi"; APT::Default-Release "sid"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
