Hmm, maybe it was just the syntax being wrong. The following line at least succeeded:
--solver aspcud -o APT::Solver::Strict-Pinning=false -o APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences='-removed,-changed,-new,+count(solution ,APT-Pin:=/995/)' Next up, checking that it does what I want. Just a worry that came up thinking about the request to aspcud: I think it is allowed to come up with solutions that don't involve any package from -proposed/unstable. So I think that if we go this route (and I think we should/must, not only for the issue encountered in this bug), autopkgtest must check that packages from the triggers are NOT from !-proposed/testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760810 Title: Non-pinned available package in -proposed not chosen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/auto-package-testing/+bug/1760810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
