Hello,
I ve already read this documentation https://wiki.debian.org/Backports#Finding_backports to configure backports. I tried to get the lastest stable clamav version from testing on Debian Buster, but it doesnt work. Here (https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... ection=all) you can see, that the newer version 0.101.4 is listed in testing. So I activated backports in the source list and tried to install clamav:
/etc/apt/sources.list
## backport
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free
aptitude update
aptitude -t buster-backports install clamav
clamav is already installed at the requested version (0.101.2+dfsg-1)
clamav is already installed at the requested version (0.101.2+dfsg-1)
But I dont get the newer version. What do I have forgotten or misunderstood here?

Hello. If you want, you can check buster-backports packages list. Or, you can bacport package by yourself. Here link:

Re: How to get latest package from testing?
After the installation of the packaging tools for building a private backport I get this list for clamav. The version 0.101.2 is on Buster
The manual says to add sid to the source.list. I would add testing to the list.
and then the commands to get the source for clamav?
But what will happen when I update/upgrade my system (aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade) Would I get a complete testing system?
Code: Select all
rmadison clamav --architecture amd64
clamav | 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1 | oldoldstable | amd64
clamav | 0.100.3+dfsg-0+deb9u1 | oldstable | amd64
clamav | 0.100.3+dfsg-0+deb9u1 | stretch-updates | amd64
clamav | 0.101.2+dfsg-1 | stable | amd64
clamav | 0.101.4+dfsg-0+deb9u1 | oldstable-proposed-updates | amd64
clamav | 0.101.4+dfsg-0+deb10u1 | proposed-updates | amd64
clamav | 0.101.4+dfsg-1 | testing | amd64
clamav | 0.101.4+dfsg-1 | unstable | amd64

Re: How to get latest package from testing?
Thanks for the advise, but it seems to be too experimental. The Debian -Team gives warnings for apt pinning ("Seriously, don't do this. Doing this will break Debian and leave you with a system that doesn't work and can't be fixed. Use Backports instead!

Re: How to get latest package from testing?
The version you want is already built and waiting in Buster's proposed-updates section, and will be updated in Buster when 10.1 is released. You could add the proposed-updates repo stanza to your sources and get it early, though.
But let us know if you still want to know how to do personal backports. I find it easier myself to get most upstream source packages manually from packages.debian.org than it is to edit my sources several times.
