Bug Description

I switched all Ubuntu related feeds from the standard http protocol to the mirror protocol

deb mirror://oss.leggewie.org/ubuntu-mirrors.php trusty-proposed main

That broke my pinning, especially to prevent automatic installations from -proposed and -backports.

+--[ /etc/apt/preferences ]
|
| ## PIN by release ##
| Package: *
| Pin: release a=*-proposed
| Pin-Priority: 98
|
| Package: *
| Pin: release a=*-backports
| Pin-Priority: 97
|
+--

This would no longer pin down -proposed and -backports.

Could you provide some more information about when this used to work?

This worked until I switched to the mirror protocol and it works again now that I dropped those entries.
