Here I get: $ apt-show-versions -b | grep "\<python3.4\>" python3.4:amd64/jessie python3.4-minimal:amd64/jessie What does apt-cache say about python3.4? Here I get $ apt-cache policy python3.4 python3.4: Installiert: 3.4.2-1 Installationskandidat: 3.4.2-1 Versionstabelle: *** 3.4.2-1 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Not sure why this happens. Maybe the package cache needs to be updated first with apt-cache gencaches ? Or isn't jessie in your sources.list?
