 Thank you! I didn't know what it meant.

 Debian and apt and the way things are done within this OS cultural
ecosystem are fine, except for the assumption of using the Internet as
a trusted medium to any extent ("except", right? ;-)). I just got some
retribution from the Internet AI Gods, it seems. No internet access
for a week ...

 Well, let me just say that it somehow makes me feel somewhat
satisfied. As some sort of conservation law I think when they give me
sh!t you are not getting it ...

Hi Albretch (and every time I see that I want to write Albrecht, sorry)

I am consistently *puzzled* by what you are trying to do: I think that
that is just effectively recording the repository that the package comes
from. What does your /etc/sources.list consist of - and if it references
bookworm, in what way does 12.4 surprise you? (Hint: That will change
in about two weeks to 12.5 ...)

Your approach to all of this is best described as idiosyncratic - if
you really don't trust Debian and apt and the way we do things, what
*do* you trust?

Debian:12.4/stable [amd64] ...

2024-01-27 Thread Albretch Mueller
apt-get installation logs (in --dry-run mode) show lines like:
...
Inst libvncclient1 (0.9.14+dfsg-1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64])
Inst vlc-bin (3.0.20-0+deb12u1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64])
Inst vlc-plugin-qt (3.0.20-0+deb12u1 Debian:12.4/stable [amd64])
...
you can get most parts of the suffix: "Debian:12.4/stable [amd64]", in
various way except the ".4" and the "stable" parts.

How could you get, list those ".4" and "stable" attributes prior to
running apt-get?
