Package: apt-build Version: 0.12.22 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
The README.Debian file says: To avoid conflicts with the `/etc/apt/preferences' mechanism, you may add the following entry in the `/etc/apt/preferences' file: Package: * Pin: release a=apt-build Pin-Priority: 800 However, this has *never* worked for me. Just the other day I figured out that if you change it to: Pin: release o=apt-build ....to pin on the "Origin" field, it works. I have no idea why, and this may be some kind of bug in apt itself, but I think the readme should be changed so that new users won't be mislead. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt-build depends on: ii apt 0.6.45 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils 0.6.46 APT utility programs ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.4 Debian configuration management sy ii devscripts 2.9.21 Scripts to make the life of a Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.13.21 package building tools for Debian ii g++ 4:4.1.1-7 The GNU C++ compiler ii gcc 4:4.1.1-7 The GNU C compiler ii libappconfig-perl 1.56-2 Perl module for configuration file ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.20 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages apt-build recommends: ii build-essential 11.3 informational list of build-essent ii fakeroot 1.5.10 Gives a fake root environment - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFG3FE5+GdyTDsrJsRAvr4AKCHhmF2YveX7us0svd1axFgH25ThQCg8gco WD5jht7OEH5Pw61ny97x7rQ= =xRV5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
