I never understood why commands like apt-get don't take a version with the dependency name.

- astrea 6y agoThey do. You can do `apt-get install package=version`
- wongarsu 6y agoAs far as I'm aware it's supported (something like `apt-get install virtualbox=5.0.18-dfsg-2build1 -V`). It's just not commonly used because you usually just choose a distro with the desired update granularity (whether you want to the newest version out there or a consistent version with backported security fixes, or something in between).
