I've got an explanation for the "DOWNGRADED" statement : I had ppa:ginggs/backports in my list of ppa. This ppa contains an updated version of zstd. So that's why when applying `apt-get install zstd/xenial-proposed`, it features the "DOWNGRADED" statement.
Removing the PPA, and re-installing the default zstd v0.5.1 from Xenial, I now get : ``` sudo apt install zstd/xenial-proposed Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Selected version '1.3.1+dfsg-1~ubuntu0.16.04.1' (Ubuntu:16.04/xenial-proposed [amd64]) for 'zstd' Selected version '5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9' (Ubuntu:16.04/xenial-proposed [amd64]) for 'libstdc++6' because of 'zstd' The following additional packages will be installed: libzstd1 The following NEW packages will be installed: libzstd1 The following packages will be upgraded: zstd 1 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 157 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/391 kB of archives. After this operation, 905 kB of additional disk space will be used. ``` which is the expected outcome. then : ``` zstd -V *** zstd command line interface 64-bits v1.3.1, by Yann Collet *** ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717040 Title: Please backport libzstd 1.3.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from artful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libzstd/+bug/1717040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
