[Gnumed-devel] newest apt preferences and apt-cache policy results (suitable for lenny)

[James Busser]

What I did was:

	re-ran apt-get while specifying -t testing install gnumed-client  
(and aborting)
	delete my apt.config file (apparently unneeded if you have a  
preferences file)
        re-ran apt-cache policy gnumed-client

and maybe after adding sources (for testing and unstable) to  
sources.list I should have run
        apt-get check

to more quickly update everything. Anyway, I am now happy that  when  
I now run
        apt-cache policy gnumed-client

I get

gnumed-client:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.3.10-1
  Package pin: 0.3.10-1
  Version table:
     0.3.10-1 601
        200 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages
        100 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
     0.2.8.10-1 601
        500 http://ftp3.nrc.ca lenny/main Packages

Funnily despite that I had pinned lenny at Pin-Priority: 501 it does  
not seem to show up this way, perhaps APT somehow reduces it to 500  
because it needs something to be at 500 and I made all other *  
releases to be <500.

 apt-cache policy now gives:
