Bug#331668: apt-get build-dep does not honour pinning
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.41
Severity: normal
Hi,
It seems that "apt-get build-dep" does not honour pinning. Example:
# apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
Installed: 2.2.3-4
Candidate: 2.2.3-4
Version table:
2.4.0-2 0
101 http://ftp.fi.debian.org ../project/experimental/main Packages
*** 2.2.3-4 0
500 http://ftp.hu.debian.org testing/main Packages
990 http://ftp.hu.debian.org unstable/main Packages
990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
# apt-get build-dep evolution
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency for evolution cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package libgal2.4-dev can satisfy version requirements
# apt-get build-dep evolution=2.2.3-4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
So apt-get tries to download the build dependencies of evolution from
experimental even though the version from unstable is listed as
preferred.
