apt-listbugs question
|

| Hello,
I can't seem to locate this info so I'm hoping someone here will know.
I have installed apt-listbugs. Any time there was a serious bug, I would
just abort the upgrade by selecting n.
I did some reading (?) and found that listbugs would automatically pin the
programs that had bugs. I gave it a try and it worked great.
My question is do the packages stay pinned or when the next version
arrives will apt try and upgrade them again?
There have been no changes to my sources.list as far as pinning. I'm just
wondering if I locked a few programs to never upgrade until I change some
setting.
BTW: I run sid and have for the past couple of years.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I finally found the answer to my question so I thought I'd post it here
for others.
The packages stay pinned.
I unpinned the packages by opening /etc/apt/preferences
I deleted everything. It was all the pinned packages.
Still haven't found how to use apt-listbugs to unpin but
opening the file by hand was easy enough.
I hope this helps someone else out.
Steve
