Using Ubuntu 16.04
Listing available apache2 versions:
root@ubuntu-xenial:~# apt-cache show apache2 | grep Version
Version: 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.9
Version: 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8
Version: 2.4.18-2ubuntu3
It just so happens I want a specific version (2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8) so I am trying to install it as per the following command (which in turn fails as follows):
root@ubuntu-xenial:~# sudo apt-get install apache2=2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
apache2 : Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8) but 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.9 is to be installed
Depends: apache2-data (= 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8) but 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.9 is to be installed
Recommends: ssl-cert but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Why doesn't apt-get perform the appropriate dependency resolution and install the appropriate needed packages?
What confuses me most is this statement:
Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.8) but 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.9 is to be installe
Why is it trying to install a 3.9 dependency while it is obvious a 3.8 is needed?
