| I followed a guide on ubuntu forums a while ago to install amsn with antialiased fonts and other goodies. A while after I did a dist-upgrade whch installed a newer version of amsn which went back to the crappy, blocky look so I re-did what I did before and pinned amsn in synaptic to stop it being upgraded.
 Now this works fine when upgrading with synaptic but if I do a dist-upgrade via the command line it wants to upgrade amsn still.
 I've tried adding it to /etc/apt/preferences but it still wants to upgrade.
 Here is the preferences file -
 Code: 
Package: amsn*
Pin: version 0.95-1
 Pin-Priority: 1001
 
 Package: *
 Pin: release a=unstable
 Pin-Priority: 500
 
 Package: *
 Pin: release a=testing
 Pin-Priority: 200
 
 Package: *
 Pin: release a=experimental
 Pin-Priority: 50
 What am I doing wrong?
 
 <EDIT>
 Apologies, I've sorted it out.  There are theme and plugin packages with the same version which is why I put the * after amsn.
 After removing the * amsn is now being kept back when doing dist-upgrade.
