But this was exactly the problem I had to think a lot to figure out. Problem is "etch". It should be "stable". http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch03.en.html#archivelevelreleasefiles Also if I were you, I will trim down my source.lst to just etch and have just: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 Well anyway... > $ apt-cache policy nfs-common > nfs-common: > Installed: 1:1.1.3-2 > Candidate: 1:1.1.3-2 > Version table: > *** 1:1.1.3-2 0 > 40 http://ftp.fr.debian.org unstable/main Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > 1:1.1.2-6lenny1 0 > 50 http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/main Packages > 1:1.0.10-6+etch.1 0 > 500 http://debian.theralys.com etch/main Packages Since pin by code name is not working, stable get default pin value of 500. > $ sudo apt-get install nfs-common=1.1.2-6 > Reading package lists...

Why not $ sudo apt-get install "nfs-common=1.0.10-6+etch.1" (I am not sure this works, I have not done these things) My debian reference has been updated to explain all these confusion. http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch03.en.html#packagesfrommixesourceofarchives http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch03.en.html#archivelevelreleasefiles This is good start.
