My bad :D indeed, assuming a package should depend on additional packages from any testing repository, it doesn't work ;), but then we are on the "partial" upgrade issue, so it anyway would be required to enable _all_ testing repositories, not just the community testing repository. IOW the OP needs to upgarde everything using all testing repositories ;). Actually this usually isn't required ;). -- https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/01/spectre_and_mel_1.html
