It's an ugly hack, but I have no better idea. Unfortunately, it doesn't seems to work. However, it should at least support preferences. % apt-cache policy -o APT::Default-Release=testing bash bash: Installed: 3.0-14 Candidate: 3.0-14 Version Table: *** 3.0-14 0 500 file: apt-build/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.0-14 0 500 ftp://ftp.dmz.naquadah.org unstable/main Packages 2.05b-26 0 990 ftp://ftp.dmz.naquadah.org testing/main Packages -- Julien Danjou .''`.

Yes, that is my current problem with libapt-pkg-perl: it does not handle policy. The best thing I can do, is to grab the highest version, but I think it would not be possible anymore to use the -t switch or the preferences file to specify what version you want. libapt-pkg-perl lacks of support about this.
