I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
I want to prevent a particular package from ever being installed. In /etc/apt/preferences I have:
Package: somepackage
Pin: version *
Pin-Priority: -1
But the package can still be installed by either command:
apt-get install somepackage
apt-get install otherpackage (where 'otherpackage' depends on
'somepackage')
I thought maybe the 'version *' was throwing it off, so I replaced '*' with
the actual version number and the package still gets installed.
Any ideas how to achieve my goal of blacklisting this particular package?
