Package: python3-apt
Version: 2.2.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nicolas@karolak.fr
Dear Maintainer,
I have an internal APT repository proxy/cache (Nexus) that is configured
with a high priority. When i try to install packages with Ansible, that
leverage this library, it tries to install the latest package found
overall my repos instead of the one with the highest priority.
Here are the steps to reproduce.
Add MariaDB repository:
```
# apt-get install apt-transport-https curl ; curl -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc' ; sh -c "echo 'deb https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye main' >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list"
```
Policy without pinning:
```
# apt policy mariadb-server
mariadb-server:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:10.5.16+maria~bullseye
Version table:
1:10.5.16+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.15+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.13+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
```
Setup pinning to priorize another origin than MariaDB one:
```
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/90pin
Package: *
Pin: origin deb.debian.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
```
Updated policy:
```
# apt policy mariadb-server
mariadb-server:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1
Version table:
1:10.5.16+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.15+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1 1000
1000 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
1:10.5.13+maria~bullseye 500
500 https://mirror.netweaver.uk/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian bullseye/main arm64 Packages
```
Installing pin-compliant package through `apt` works fine:
```
# apt install mariadb-common --dry-run
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
mysql-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
mariadb-common mysql-common
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst mysql-common (5.8+1.0.7 Debian:11.4/stable [all])

Conf mariadb-common (1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1 Debian:11.4/stable [all])
```
However `apt_pkg` Python lib return wrong candidate version:
```
# python3
>>> import apt, apt_pkg
>>> cache = apt_pkg.Cache()
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done

You have not read the policy preferences files so that's hardly
surprising, you want to use cache.policy instead of creating
a fresh one to get an initialized policy.
The bindings don't do anything different here.
So I'm going to close this bug, I suggest you open a fresh one
after ansible if it does the wrong thing. Or better perhaps, contact
a user support list.
Perhaps try a pin of 1001 instead, 1000 has unspecified behavior. It
should work as a downgrade but the docs say > 1000.
