Package: python3-apt Version: 2.2.1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: mcul...@tetracore.com
Dear Maintainer, If I apt remove curl, then run the following code: >>> import apt >>> c = apt.Cache() >>> pkg = c['curl'] >>> pkg.mark_install() >>> c.commit() Selecting previously unselected package curl. (Reading database ... 201874 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../curl_7.74.0-1.3+deb11u1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking curl (7.74.0-1.3+deb11u1) ... Setting up curl (7.74.0-1.3+deb11u1) ... Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.4-2) ... True Curl will be installed. But then, if I want to install the version from bullseye-backports: >>> import apt >>> c = apt.Cache() >>> pkg = c['curl'] >>> print(pkg.versions) [curl=7.82.0-2~bpo11+1, curl=7.74.0-1.3+deb11u1] >>> pkg.candidate = pkg.versions[0] >>> pkg.mark_install() >>> c.commit() True The above code does nothing. However, doing the same thing on a stretch machine I have access to works, though I used the "whois" package rather than "curl" because it has a version on stretch-backports.
