Fetch <pkg> from specific mirror

Fetch from specific mirror

from elbe.

Please see the "pin" attribute of "pkg":

https://elbe-rfs.org/docs/sphinx/article-elbe-schema-reference.html#type-pkg

If two packages have the same version number, they better be identical.

Using <pkg version="x.y.z"> does not work, it ignores the version and fetches a lower version from another mirror. Then it complains during build:

[INFO] Package List validation
[INFO] -----------------------
[INFO] 
[ERROR] Package 'abc' version '0.2-1' does not match installed version 0.1-1

Not really working here. Do I have to pin the mirror itself, too? I set the package here:

<pkg pin="0.16-1">package-xy</pkg>

But it still installs the version 0.13-1 from the first mirror.

What's am I missing?

First, you never need to pin a higher version. Debian will automatically choose the highest version.

Are you sure your custom repository has the package in it? Is the package for the correct architecture? Is the package for the correct suite? Is it possible to install the package (i.e. are all of its dependencies also available)?

On your embedded system, you should be able to manually install your package with:

$ apt install your-package

I expect that also will not work. But it might provide some information about why.

Issue can be closed, it finally worked.
