This works for me on a buster system: paul@testavoira ~ $ sudo apt --simulate --solver aspcud -o APT::Solver::Strict-Pinning=false -o APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences='-removed,-changed,-new,+count(solution,APT-Pin:=/995/)' -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install emacs:amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done emacs is already the newest version (47.0). Execute external solver...

Conf mariadb-server-10.1 (1:10.1.29-6+b1 Debian:testing [amd64]) W: Ignoring Install stanza received for version 47.0 of package emacs:amd64 which is already installed! Paul
