Bug#45122: apt: No way to install packages from different distributions
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.6.1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I am using a slink system with certain packages updates to potato
level. apt-get installs from slink..
There should be an option for apt-get to have multiple installation
sources for different distribution. That way, the user could choose
from which distribution to pull a new package.
apt-get --force-distribution potato <somepackage>
could be used to tell apt-get to install the package from potato.
Greetings
Marc
