[Bug 113846] Re: Adept notifier with pinning

[tchize]

Hi,

I can confirm this is a problem with adept and adept_notifier. Both ignore pinning rules in /etc/apt/preferences
i recently tried to use pinning to prevent adept from showing update for a tool i apt-sourced and recompiled with additionnal Oracle support. 
here is my /etc/apt/preferences:


delbd at cal-12:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: tora
Pin: 1.3.21-1
Pin-Priority: 1000


Here is result of sudo apt-get update:
delbd at cal-12:~$ sudo apt-get update

So, you can see, pinning preference is correctly written. However, adept notifier shows a tray icon with "1 package can be update". 
Despite what original poster said, when i run adept, or click the tray icon, it really does the upgrade to 1.3.21-3ubuntu1, completly ignoring the pinning rule and i have then to manually rollback to old version...
