Have you, for some reason, manually created or edited files in /etc/apt/ ?

Rob1n, sorry I have posted it in that post, and also below. Thanks!

There's your problem; you'll have to remove the empty line between Pin and Pin-Priority

I never directly edited this file. I'm guessing some kind of truncation caused this. I've removed the space, and am seeing if that fixes the problem. Thanks for all the help.

Version 0.6.5 comes with small "reliability enhancements" and has also been promoted to extras-testing. Remember to test thoroughly before giving thumbs up/down.
* ignore upgrades to pinned packages and warn about install/remove
* warn if trying to do a system upgrade
* ignore upgrades to pinned packages and warn about install/remove
* warn if trying to do a system upgrade
Because that seems like a syntax error in /etc/apt/preferences (which should not even exist by default)
