			== Issues due to /usr merge==

			Dear [[User:John3-16\|John3-16]], I have moved the content added by you to a seperate section titled [[Alpine_Package_Keeper#Issues_due_to_/usr_merge\|Issues due to /usr merge]] under troubleshooting. Since the /usr merge has been paused as of now and affects only migrated users, let this be kept in a seperate section, so it is easier to remove at a future date, once all related issues are resolved. -[[User:Prabuanand\|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand\|talk]]) 04:14, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

			== Repository pinning==

			I found the below section in a older version of this page. But after reading the [https://github.com/alpinelinux/apk-tools/blob/master/doc/apk-world.5.scd manual], i believe the information is wrong. The current content appears as [[Repositories#Tagged repository\|tagged repository]]. Can someone please confirm, if my understanding/changes are correct.
			----
			You can specify additional "tagged" repositories {{Cat\|/etc/apk/repositories\|...
			@personal https:/personal-repo.example.com/alpine-apks/}}
			After which you can "pin" dependencies to these tags using: {{ic\|apk add application@personal}}
			apk will by default only use the untagged repositories, but adding a package with a @tag:
			1. will prefer the repository with that tag for the named package, even if a later version of the package is available in another repository
			2. ''allows'' pulling in dependencies for the tagged package from the tagged repository (though it ''prefers'' to use untagged repositories to satisfy dependencies if possible)
