Still broken after the stretch release. Maybe this time just fix it although it is already released (right now there is nothing in it yet anyway)? As a workaround if someone wants to pin: Pin: release o=Debian Backports,a=stable-backports They should pin instead or additionally: Pin: release o=Debian Backports,n=stretch-backports Or (if you don't mix oldstable / stable backports sources): Pin: release o=Debian Backports Pinning a=stretch-backports ("a=" instead of "n="!) might work now, but breaks if this bug gets fixed. cheers, Stefan
