So I have a custom repo here which I added by creating a mrjayviper.list file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
I then created this file /etc/apt/preferences with the following contents
note: I've tried other numbers like 800 and 900 and 1100 instead of 999.
My issue is that when I run (see below), it's showing Ubuntu's copy and not the one from the 3rd party repo.
The 3rd party repo has a much newer version of the handbrake-cli (same version as handbrake-gtk) and I thought apt pinning should take priority anyway using whatever version is in the 3rd party repo even if it's a lower version.
things I've also done:
- I've deleted my apt database (sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists) and re-running apt-get update after creating the preferences file.
- I've tried the apt list command with and without /etc/apt/preferences. Same results
My aim is to understand and get apt pinning to work and not getting the latest version of handbrake-cli which probably can be done by compiling source anyway.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks
