I'm having plenty of trouble with the newest version of sendmail on a brand new install.
I have the version numbers obtained by running: aptitude search -F sendmail '%p %v' On a machine with it installed. I understand the command necessary to install a certain version: aptitude install <pkg>=<version> But when I run that, I'm told the pkgs cannot be found and it wants to install the newer version 8.14.4-5 All the sendmail group showning the version I want below: sendmail 8.14.4-4.1 sendmail-base 8.14.4-4.1 sendmail-bin 8.14.4-4.1 sendmail-cf 8.14.4-4.1 I have it running on my main desktop with out problems and want to install it on this new install. Is it a question of expanding my sources.list? Or maybe the exact syntax in detail is all that is lacking. I tried several renditions but I think it is: aptitude install sendmail=8.14.4-4 But maybe that is not present in the repo. My current sources list is the one a vanilla install has left me. Well not quite vanilla since I installed from an lxde iso: debian-testing-i386-lxde-CD-1.iso deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main # jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main # jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main Using this syntax... I get this result: # aptitude install sendmail=8.14.4-4 Unable to find a version "8.14.4-4" for the package "sendmail" Unable to find a version "8.14.4-4" for the package "sendmail" The following NEW packages will be installed: sendmail sendmail-base{a} sendmail-bin{a} sendmail-cf{a} sensible-mda{a} 0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
