if you want to test a 5.99 version of KiCad you will need to install the
packages from experimental.

unstable/sid is currently providing the latest stable version 5.1.10,
but due the currently ongoing freeze of testing this version isn't
migrating to testing.

@Seth
Can please have a look at the full story?

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991642

The user Hans is using a NVidia card GF-8600GS and has some problems to
use shortcuts and parts of the various parts of KiCad. My guess is that
this is hardly related to an underlying graphic card problem and not
basically a kicad problem within the Debian packaging.

I've no NVidia cards anywhere and can't adjust anything to reproduce the
behavior. For now I can't do something useful regarding this bug report.
