Package: python-apt Version: 0.7.8 Severity: wishlist As far as I can deduce from the documentation of the high-level apt interface [1], there is no way to access all available versions of the current package: you are restricted to installed and candidate versions only.
Yes, I can access all of them using the low-level apt_pkg API, but it is way more cumbersome. I believe it'd make sense to have an iterator over all available versions of the current package, in the high-level API. Sorry in advance if I missed the actual way to do that without leaving the high-level interface. Cheers.
