[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#1033243: puppet: apt install puppet and puppet modules clash with official upstream repo

[Renato Gallo]

Package: puppet
Version: 7.23.0
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainers,

At work I must install foreman and puppet using the official upstream repos for
a testing environment which are
cat puppet7.list
# Puppet 7 bullseye Repository
deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com bullseye puppet7

cat foreman.list
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ bullseye nightly
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins nightly

problem being that the puppet debian version is not 7.23.0 the upstream dep
package has been named puppet7-release (not just puppet) and after having
installed a module via apt I find myself in a broken condition where apt
absolutely wants to install the old version of puppet (even when I try to
uninstall it) which breaks the foreman nightly installation. Can you please I
pray you upgrade the debian repo so that it follows the upstream one ?

else can you tell me how can I set up my preferences so that only the upstream
repo is considered ?

I have tried setting priority 1001 but it doesn't seem to work for all the
packages

Thanks in advance
