Hi,
I have a weird behaviour on one of my debian boxes. It is running Mint LMDE and
the issue is the following:
I have several additional sources defined: debian testing, debian backports,
etc. I have defined priorities for the repos so that testing has prio 300 and
does not replace the stable packages automatically. That works fine if I do an
"apt-get update" followed by an "apt-get dist-upgrade". No issue.
The issue only occurs directly after boot. Somehow there is an "apt-get update"
excecuted during boot time and this is ignoring the repo priorities. If I do a
"apt-get dist-upgrade" directly after boot it wants to upgrade all packages to
the testing version ("1547 upgraded, 358 newly installed, 97 to remove and 36
not upgraded."). This is a mistake.
After boot the priorities are all set to 500. Example:
####
12# apt-cache policy zip vim-common
zip:
Installed: 3.0-8
Candidate: 3.0-11
Version table:
3.0-11 0
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
*** 3.0-8 0
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
vim-common:
Installed: 2:7.4.488-7+deb8u1

Version table:

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

If I do an "apt-get update" everything is back to normal.

What is going wrong here? Any idea?
