- I will try this out as soon as I get a chance. Can you say anything additional as to whether this approach is recommended by the creators of apt - with a link to further information if possible? Or is it more of a homegrown solution?tompi– tompi2020-03-28 14:58:02 +00:00Commented Mar 28, 2020 at 14:58
- 1Can confirm that this works as expected for my case. I did a bit more digging in the apt documentation and the closest I found to a mention of something similar to what is need was in the feature wishlist, and was apparently not very well received: bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=873689tompi– tompi2020-03-30 13:42:00 +00:00Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 13:42
- Yes, I dug through the docs and couldn’t find anything...Stephen Kitt– Stephen Kitt2020-03-30 13:44:18 +00:00Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 13:44
- If you are running apt upgrade and get 404 errors, this fix also works to solve that problem.Chris C.– Chris C.2023-06-16 16:58:10 +00:00Commented Jun 16, 2023 at 16:58

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
