When one has two sources available with the same packages (but perhaps different versions) , is there a recommended way to manage this?
I can see that I can show what versions are available by doing an apt-cache show kodi, but that doesn't seem to show me where those versions are coming from. There is a path, /pool/contrib/.. or similar, but it's not obvious to me that that necessarily always is identifiable as a particular source. How do the people who know what they are doing manage this? Of course in most cases one wouldn't care, and would just take the latest, but in my mind it gets hairier when unstable sources are available.
thx
