Hmmm... back in November, I added the Proposed repository shown above in Other Software
(https://launchpad.net/~flexiondotorg/+archive/ubuntu/sru),
and from it obtained:
aptdaemon (1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu16.16.10.1~yakkety1.0 )

The fix-release version in #41 above is:

aptdaemon (1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu16.2) yakkety;

This has not shown up in my repositories yet, and I am wondering about the version
numbering... surely the version I have is technically a higher version than the release
(16 being higher than 2)

In Synaptic, it shows the 16.2 version in Versions, as well as mine (and also the assumed
original 16), but Package->Force Version, selecting 16.2 has no effect on the version, and
"Apply" is ghosted.
Even unchecking the Other Software repository and Reloading the package list did not change anything.
Perhaps it is because there are three other aptdaemon-related packages with the same version
string as aptdaemon (aptdaeman-date, and two python3 pkgs.) that perhaps would not work if aptdaemon changed its version.

Should I be uninstalling all 4 "16.16.10.1..." packages to be able to install 16.2?

Or am I missing something?
