Hi, I'm trying to test a new version of one package I maintain zeroc-ice.
The current version in sid/testing is 3.6.3-4 and I want to test a new major release currently in alpha (3.7a3-1). I have build that version and upload it to a repository and configure the repository in my machine. But apt-get install insist in install version 3.6.3-4 even when I add a version number to the install command. vagrant@debian-testing:~$ sudo apt-get install zeroc-ice-all-dev=3.7a3-1 Reading package lists...
