Hi,
I built mplayer from source into a local package (following a script I found on the internet; works on Xubuntu 14.04), and it installed fine.
But the Ubuntu version is higher than my version, and so wants to upgrade it.
So, I created a Preferences file and re-ran "apt-get update", but apt still does not see my pin. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Code:
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/mplayer
Package: mplayer
Pin: version 1.1~svn*
Pin-Priority: 1001
$ apt-cache policy mplayer
