I had tried that too, but since the apt/preferences file doesn't seem to have any effect, changing the pinning number doesn't do anything either. I think the above example is wrong anyway, would end up matching on 'l=', which in this case is always "Debian". However, using 'v=' should work ok, but again, doesn't seem to do anything at all, regardless of pin numbers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
