Hello, I am another user hit by this issue: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security main # cat /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 800 # apt update Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security InRelease Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done All packages are up to date. # apt policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org 800 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=testing,n=bullseye,l=Debian,c=main,b=amd64 origin deb.debian.org Pinned packages: Now, I would like to debug my Pin-Priority setup (see also bug [#931524]), but "apt policy" says nothing about the Pin-Priority assigned to "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security main"! How can I check what Pin-Priority apt assigns to a repository which does not yet include any packages? How can I look at what values it sees for the "o", "a", "n", "l", "c", and "b" fields of such a repository? I need to do so, *before* some packages become available with the *wrong* Pin-Priority! Please let "apt policy" also show empty sources along with their Pin-Priority and field values. Or, otherwise, please implement a command-line option to get this additional output. Thanks for your time and dedication! Bye. [#931524]: <https://bugs.debian.org/931524> -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli . GnuPG key fpr == CA01 1147 9CD2 EFDF FB82 3925 3E1C 27E1 1F69 BFFE
