Seus arquivos Release
devem conter um cabeçalho Codename
para permitir a fixação pelo nome do lançamento. De man apt_preferences
:
The Release file is normally found in the directory .../dists/dist-name: for
example, .../dists/stable/Release, or .../dists/wheezy/Release. It consists of a
single multi-line record which applies to all of the packages in the directory
tree below its parent. Unlike the Packages file, nearly all of the lines in a
Release file are relevant for setting APT priorities:
[...]
the Codename: line
names the codename to which all the packages in the directory tree belong.
For example, the line "Codename: jessie" specifies that all of the packages
in the directory tree below the parent of the Release file belong to a
version named jessie. Specifying this value in the APT preferences file would
require the line:
Pin: release n=jessie
