[Test case] The integration tests run in autopkgtest include an automated test case that contains a package called coolstuff in three versions. We are specifying a Pin for the installed one, set to 1000. The bug caused 1.0 to become the candidate, as the existing pin was ignored. The test checks that 2.0~bpo1 to remains the candidate, that is, apt-cache policy looks like this: coolstuff: Installed: 2.0~bpo1 Candidate: 2.0~bpo1 Package pin: 2.0~bpo1 Version table: 2.0~bpo2 1000 100 file:${tmppath}/aptarchive/ backports/main i386 Packages *** 2.0~bpo1 1000 100 ${tmppath}/rootdir/var/lib/dpkg/status 1.0 1000 500 file:${tmppath}/aptarchive/ stable/main i386 Packages On the output of the autopkgtest we'll see: Check that local-only versions can be pinned correctly (LP: #1821308) Test for successful execution of apt-cache policy coolstuff … PASS Test for correctness of file testsuccess.output … PASS [Regression potential] Other weird pinning bugs. [Original bug report] I have updated apt this morning: Start-Date: 2019-03-22 09:36:18 Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade Upgrade: apt:amd64 (1.0.1ubuntu2.20, 1.0.1ubuntu2.22), ... Afterwards, apt-get ignores my pinning preferences: # apt-get --dry-run upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: burp 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
