Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sid.list: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free To avoid updating everything from "unstable" add this file as /etc/apt/preferences.d/sid-pinning: Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 100 Then "apt update" to read the new package lists. Then "apt install -t unstable gfortran-16-i686-linux-gnu But… after I did this, "gfortran -v" shows version 14.2.0. "apt" installs it as i686-linux-gnu-gfortran-16
