From: Stuckey on 22 Feb 2010 08:10 Thanks for the replies. So I've edited /etc/apt/preferences such: stuckey(a)debian:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: origin www.debian-multimedia.org Pin-Priority: 200 And now, when I do "apt-cache policy mplayer" I get: debian:/home/stuckey# apt-cache policy mplayer mplayer: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1+b1 Version table: 1:1.0.rc2svn20100219-0.0 0 200 http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid/main Packages 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1+b1 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I assume that means that when I just removed it, and then reinstalled it, that it took it from ftp.de.debian.org. So with such a configuration, how can I tel it that I want to install mplayer from debian-multimedia?

Don't top post on this list. Well if you dont have the "-t debian-multimedia" then it will installed from the higher value preffered repository, but if you fave already installed from debian-multimedia then updates for that package will be installed by debian-multimedia. See? e.g. apt-get install -t debian-multimedia mplayer then later on if there is an update of mplayer in debian-multimedia, it will be installed with an apt-get dist-upgrade. man apt_prefernces -- Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
