priority number. So if you want to install an application, and admittedly, this is a rare thing because you have to, one, you have to find an application that is in both the Ubuntu packages, the Mint packages, and a PPA so that they had to have pulled it from Ubuntu, made their own version, and then you also install a PPA to get it. You'd have to do all that, so fair enough, it's not a huge issue, and especially not with the flat packs and snaps and app images anymore. So it's still less so, but the structure is still in place where when you install a PPA and you install an application from that PPA, you will not actually get the application from that PPA because the priority of Mint takes over. So you're pulling from the Mint repo instead of the PPA you just installed. And the only way to fix that is to manually change the pin number or the priority number for the repo for Mint or to manually install the DEB package from the PPA, which will then force the particular PPA to become (15/54)
