Dear Sir,

Thanks for your guidance.

After enabling stable, I still cannot install that version of webcamoind:

duane@DuanesSpectre16:~$ echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stable main

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/stable.list
sudo apt update
apt-cache policy webcamoid

I certainly might have done something incorrectly.

Yup, that's because that package doesn't exist yet.  and the latest deb version 
9.4.0-1+b1 can't be installed either, aptitude couldn't even figure it out.

If you're able to use the stable repos, version 9.2.3-1 is working great.  I 
think they even resolved this bug and manual installation of additional modules 
is not needed anymore.  I'm no expert with apt, and testing is my default 
release, but if you have the stable repos save in /etc/apt/sources.list.d then 
I think this should work:

sudo apt install -t stable webcamoid=9.2.3-1

If that works for you without having to install any qml modules manually, then 
you can also indicate this bug is resolved for us!

Best,
Scar
