No, it isn't... this one contains
libxcompext3=1:3.5.0-1-2
libxcompshad3=3.5.0-2-2

Still, specifying an exact package version should work, as long as it's 
present in the repository - which it isn't, as I'm still getting the 
error shown below:

I tried removing the parts after the ~ to see if maybe that was 
confusing apt-get, but no:

apt-get install libxcompext3=1:3.5.0-1-0 libxcompshad3=3.5.0-2-0

E: Version '1:3.5.0-1-0' for 'libxcompext3' was not found
E: Version '3.5.0-2-0' for 'libxcompshad3' was not found

If I temporarily add the heuler repository, install the packages, then 
disable it again - will I be able to upgrade to newer versions once they 
become part of main, or will this cause breakage on my systems?
