Public bug reported: I've seen already the "possible related" but either they have been fixed or doesn't apply.
I'm trying to set the PPA's with lower priority than normal releases using: Package: * Pin: origin "ppa.launchpad.net" Pin-Priority: 400 This works without problems in Debian, but in Ubuntu ppa.launchpad.net keeps it's 500 priority: apt-cache policy | grep ppa 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/sublime-text-2/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/sublime-text-2/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/phablet-team/tools/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/phablet-team/tools/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kilian/f.lux/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kilian/f.lux/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/juju/stable/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/juju/stable/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages origin ppa.launchpad.net This is not desirable. I've tried other combinations such: Pin: release o=LP-PPA-saiarcot895-chromium-beta (for each of the ppa's) Pin: release v=13.04,o=LP-PPA-juju-stable,a=raring,n=raring,l=juju stable packages,c=main (again, for each of the ppa's) release l=juju stable packages (also tried labels alone) Etc. None of them works.
