Install notification of Additional Software is not handling target release

Originally created by @sajolida on #15822 (Redmine)

In my live-additional-software.conf I have ikiwiki/sid.

The target version (sid) is passed correctly to apt install and ikiwiki from sid is being installed.

But I also get a notification asking me whether I want to install it every time. See screenshot in attachment.

So it seems to me that the APT hook of Additional Software doesn’t handle well target releases.

In the logs I have:

Aug 20 07:54:18 amnesia tails-additiona[4882]: [INFO] New packages manually installed: {'ikiwiki'}
  • It should at least respect target releases when entered manually in live-additional-software.conf. It doesn’t make sense to have two different versions of the same package installed. So, in my case for example, the APT hook should detect that I already have ikiwiki in my live-additional-software.conf though it’s called ikiwiki/sid.
  • Ideally, it should process ikiwiki/sid as being manually installed and not only ikiwiki so it can add the target version to live-additional-software.conf.
