libgnatcoll-db is fixed in experimental. For the record: > That looks workable. Thanks for the tip.

You are right, it is better to pin a specific version of a specific package, else apt will attempt to update it and drag unwanted dependencies.

That looks workable. Thanks for the tip. I assume that the package in unstable will at some point be linked to a new version of Libgnat or some other library, and thus become uninstallable in Bookworm, so I should do the above before that happens, and then the package I have installed will remain installed.

You should not need to build libgnatcoll-db yourself. If the issue is not fixed when you upgrade your system to bookworm, you may install the specific libgnatcoll-db package from the unstable distribution (except on MIPS of course). /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main By default, prefer packages from bookworm even if more recent versions exist in unstable. /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release n=bookworm Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release n=bookworm-updates Pin-Priority: 990 You may then use # aptitude install libgnatcoll-db/unstable or something similar in aptitude/synaptics/...
