Bug Description

Binary package hint: aptitude

Aptitude doesn't recognize pinning preferences set in the preferences directory /etc/apt/preferences.d/ at all.

"apt-cache policy" lists the preferences correctly and apt-get recognizes them as well but aptitude doesn't. Therefore aptitude will always try to pull in packages from the unstable tree regardless of their pinning priority.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

aptitude:
  Installed: 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10
