@mattwelke@mstdn.ca @ariadne@treehouse.systems There is no such thing as "running a particular package from apt". Apt is a package manager, not a package *repository*. It's just a piece of software that installs from a specified source based on some standard(ish) repository API. Without a source, it does nothing.

Which means that this shouldn't be called "install from apt" at all, because the implementation detail is the *package manager* and what actually matters is *where* it installs from, which package repository (ie. distro), because that determines what packages you actually get.
