Hi there,
I have a problem with debian and apt pinning.
Problem description:
In my sources.list a have a reference to debian backport. When i check for packages available for update, all debian backport packages get listed. any ideas?
I know that this issue has been discussed before, but I didn't find a solution for my problem in those postings.

Hi there,
Does anyone of you use APT pinning (for example with debian backports) without having this problems?
Best regards
