That has interesting feedback. I've been using the following for a slightly different trek toward a similar end (includes what mine says right now): $ apt-cache policy linux-headers-amd64 linux-headers-amd64: Installed: 5.16.12-1 Candidate: 5.16.12-1 Version table: 5.17~rc8-1~exp1 1 1 http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental/main amd64 Packages *** 5.16.12-1 500 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Being able to compare the Installed versus Candidate fields has been cognitively friendly as a checkpoint for my style of user generated... issues. :D For newer users, the various versions under "Version table" reflect that I use "bookworm bookworm-updates experimental" as the "Suites" in my debian.sources** file. Version table's nice to see because that data is a constant reminder to think ahead about developing toward the Future. IMPORTANT: It's highly recommended that we avoid experimental. It's just that that's the only place I can find wicd-curses. Thank you for wicd-curses still being there, Developers! That's a priceless package. :) ** debian-sources goes under sources.list.d as an alternative to sources.list. It was a momentarily seen talking point under something like "man sources.list" at some point in my own personal Debian adventures.
