Given this discussion: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/discussions/2410 It seems that **dnscrypt-proxy** has a dependency called powerman used only for testing and not useful in the main pagackage that made it unable to compile and it was not fixed before the last freeze of ***debian 12 bookworm***. The end result of having the package dnscrypt-proxy not present in debian 12 !!! --- For my config I need dnscrypt-proxy package. **The remaining options are:** - Install it from http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dnscrypt-proxy/ however that would be a static installation, hence making it not updated in case of security fixes. - Otherwise because it was fixed after debian12 release it is possible to pull it from debian **sid**. (I searched and it seems that isn't available from backports) --- **What is the best practice that allows me to not break the debian installation integrating that only package from sid ? Should I use apt pinning ?** Bard suggested me also this syntax for *sources.list*: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/sid main/dnscrypt-proxy but it clearly doesn't work.
