So in the global ubuntu APT repos, a package version can be deprecated quite often.
For example, yesterday I was able to install apt install docker.io=x.y.z, and today I am getting E: Version 'x.y.z' for 'docker.io' was not found - as now the latest version is x.y.z-1.
The default apt repos in the sources.list are:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security multiverse
Is there a global repo which holds packages' versions when they are deprecated?
I am trying to avoid having a local APT cache which will hold old versions for me. I assumed those deprecated versions go to some other repo?
