However I assume that the nightly PPA ships newer "upstream" functionality. You may reflect this by changing the versioning to something like this (increase the upstream versioning part before the Debian revision -0): 2:3.5.99.16+201811100633-0~ubuntu18.04.1 $ dpkg --compare-versions 2:3.5.99.16+201811100633-0~ubuntu18.04.1 gt 2:3.5.99.16-1 && echo "ppa version is bigger" || echo "ppa version is smaller" ppa version is bigger Otherwise I have to "downgrade" the packages, in order to use the nightly builds instead of the older official Ubuntu bionic ones. For this to work I currently use apt pinning: $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/x2go-ppa Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-x2go Pin-Priority: 1010 Thanks jre
