Get:1 https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 hello amd64 2.10-3 [53.1 kB] In this case apt is clearly telling me that this package is being downloaded from bookworm, even though apt would download exactly the same file from exactly the same location in the pool for trixie or sid. "download" is not even the relevant part here, "apt policy hello" can tell you from which distribution apt would install hello. cu Adrian
