Like e.g.: apt-get install -t ascii-backports linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 Re-reading your text I see you used aptitude for searching, so as an alternative you can use its interactive mode to mark the desired package for installation. Background: By default the backports repositories take lower priority than the main repositories, so you have to explicitly tell the package manager your intent to install a backported package - unless the backported version is already required as a dependency of an already (to be) installed package, which will lead to the correct version being pulled right away. If, for example, linux-headers-4.16.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 is to be installed, then linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 should be installed automagically. HTH, regards Urban -- Sapere aude!
