Originally from the User Slack
@Kristjan_Janežič: Hello everyone. As per the instructions I am trying to install an older version of Scylla (so we can test the upgrade process). I have added older repo in apt list and updated. I can see the packages with “ap-cache madison” or “apt list --all-versions”, but I cannot install them with “apt install” as the packages are not found. How can I install the older version? Thank you in advance

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
though you should help yourself and don’t use a rc
@Kristjan_Janežič: hey, thank you for the reply. I need to use rc because i need to test upgrade from that version 
. Could you share your apt sources? or the keyring command you used?
I have also tried with these instructions, with the same result.
