[17:20] <baldpope> trying to install a specific version of a package, specifically libssh-4/0.9.6-2ubuntu0.22.04.2 - but when I run apt it returns as package not found 
[17:21] <baldpope> yet that version is shown when running apt list --upgradable 
[17:21] <baldpope> is it a syntax issue or am I not referencing the package correctly?
[17:23] <baldpope> but if I run apt instal libssh-4 - it completes (upgrading to the correct version) 
[17:24] <baldpope> issue is arising because I'm trying to pass the upgrade in via an ansible playbook
[17:26] <tomreyn> cen you show the command you're running and the output that's being produced, on a pastebin?
[17:27] <tomreyn> and do you apt(-get) update beforehand?
[17:28] <rfm> baldpope, this is on jammy? I did "sudo apt install --simulate libssh-4=0.9.6-2ubuntu0.22.04.2" on a updated but not recently upgraded system and got normal looking noises...
[17:29] <tomreyn> to install libssh-4 version 0.9.6-2ubuntu0.22.04.2 you'd use    sudo apt install libssh-4=version 0.9.6-2ubuntu0.22.04.2     (equals, not slash, if this was unclear).

[17:29] <tomreyn> sorry, typo fixed
[18:35] <baldpope> just got back, trying that last example now tomreyn 
[18:37] <baldpope> that works, thanks tomreyn - the equal sign is what I was missing, similar to gentoo for specific builds, should have tried that, ty again
[19:21] <tomreyn> you're welcome
