Public bug reported:
I have both precise and quantal in my sources.list.
Whenever I do an `apt-get install linux-image-generic/quantal` and there
is a ~precise version similar to the version linux-image-generic depends
on, apt-get always picks the precise version first, which contains all
the files of linux-image-*-generic/quantal plus the files of linux-
image-extra-*-generic. I always have to specify e.g. linux-
image-3.5.0-32-generic/quantal for apt-get to pick the correct package.
Pinning does not help, as any pinning that selects the quantal package
also selects the precise package.
I believe making linux-image-*-generic*~precise conflict with linux-
image-extra-* (each specific version in conflict with the respective
specific version) would remove this problem. It would also make sense,
because these packages do in fact conflict -- they contain an
overlapping set of files.
