This is not how distributions and distribution packaging works. Ubuntu ships packages for tens of thousands of upstream projects and these packages are designed to work well together and without the user having to follow individual upstream download and installation instructions for each one. Users therefore generally consume software directly from the distribution packages. If yggdrasil wishes to ship packages in Debian's integral packaging format, then they need to integrate with Debian's (and consequently Ubuntu's) integral packaging system and with the repositories from the distributions used by their users, rather than the other way round. In this case, it looks like your "official packages" are buggy in their versioning choices with reference to distribution packaging in this respect. But even when done correctly, this can lead to problems. It's best for users to use packages shipped by their distributions, and for upstreams to work with distributions to make sure that packages of their software work best for users. > (how did you manage to do that?) If I've understood your problem correctly, this is by design and has been well established practice across the ecosystem for decades now. If you want this to behave differently then you need to fix your broken "official packages", or better still, simply recommend that Ubuntu users use the Ubuntu packages and help us improve those instead.
