Ok, this seems strange. Since the original bugreport I downgraded to apt-0.5.28.6. Now I upgraded again to 0.6.36. After the upgrade the first "apt-cache policy" command gave: # apt-cache policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 990 ftp://ftp.nerim.net unstable/main Packages release o=Christian Marillat,a=unstable,l=Unofficial Packages Free,c=main origin ftp.nerim.net 101 http://pkg-gnome.alioth.debian.org experimental/main Packages release v=2005.05.10.09.00.31,o=Alioth,a=experimental,l=pkg-gnome,c=main origin pkg-gnome.alioth.debian.org 101 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/non-free/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,l=Debian,c=non-free origin ftp.fi.debian.org 101 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/contrib/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,l=Debian,c=contrib origin ftp.fi.debian.org 101 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=non-US/non-free origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=non-US/contrib origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=non-US/main origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=contrib origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=non-free origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/main Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fi.debian.org Pinned packages: Which seems correct. However, after an "apt-get update", "apt-cache policy" now prints: # apt-cache policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 990 ftp://ftp.nerim.net unstable/main Packages release o=Christian Marillat,a=unstable,l=Unofficial Marillat Packages origin ftp.nerim.net 101 http://pkg-gnome.alioth.debian.org experimental/main Packages release o=Alioth,a=experimental,l=pkg-gnome origin pkg-gnome.alioth.debian.org 1 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/non-free/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,l=Debian,c=non-free origin ftp.fi.debian.org 1 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/contrib/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,l=Debian,c=contrib origin ftp.fi.debian.org 1 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org 990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/main Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian origin ftp.fi.debian.org Pinned packages: So the pkg-gnome repository is pinned correctly but project/experimental is not.
