Depends/Breaks would suffice to make it select the right packages from the right suites. >For example, ruby-nokogiri is available in buster-backports (built with >ruby 2.5) and buster-fasttrack (built with ruby 2.7). Wasn’t the rule that a package may only be in one of them, and that it’s only eligible for fasttrack when it’s not in backports? ># apt policy ruby-nokogiri >ruby-nokogiri: > Installed: (none) > Candidate: 1.10.9+dfsg-1+fto10+1 > Version table: > 1.10.9+dfsg-1+fto10+1 500 > 500 https://fasttrack.debian.net/debian buster-fasttrack/main amd64 > Packages > 1.10.9+dfsg-1~bpo10+1 100 > 100 https://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports/main amd64 Packages > 1.10.0+dfsg1-2 500 > 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages Well here you also run into the problem that apt prefers the newest package. It also looks like buster-fasttrack is not set up correctly: its policy value is 500, not 100 (NotAutomatic: yes and ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes). Looking at the fasttrack documentation, it also tells users to use a buster-backports repository from the fasttrack.debian.net site, which is also all kinds of wrong. But the installability problem has a different cause: […] Depends: ruby-faraday (>= 0.17.3~) but 0.15.4-3~bpo10+1 is to be installed […] $ apt-cache policy ruby-faraday ruby-faraday: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.13.1-2 Version table: 0.15.4-3~bpo10+1 100 100 http://mirror.lan.tarent.de/debian buster-backports/main amd64 Packages 0.13.1-2 500 500 http://mirror.lan.tarent.de/debian buster/main amd64 Packages 0.9.2-3 500 500 http://mirror.lan.tarent.de/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages This package simply is not available in the version required. bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
