To install a package from Debian Unstable into my Testing release I've followed a solution found at Unix & Linux.
First, I added unstable as repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
:
$ sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
Second, I set priorities for testing:
$ sudo cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/default-release
APT::Default-Release "testing";
After executing apt update update
I searched for a package nautilus-actions
which should be available for Sid
. However, running apt search nautilus-actions
give no result. Why?

The reason you canâÂÂt install the package in either testing or unstable is that it was removed a year ago because itâÂÂs obsolete. It wonâÂÂt be part of the next release. ItâÂÂs supposed to be replaced by filemanager-actions
but that doesnâÂÂt appear to be packaged in Debian (itâÂÂs been requested but not yet packaged).
ItâÂÂs still listed as available in debports for arm64 but thatâÂÂs only because it hasnâÂÂt been cleaned up there; you canâÂÂt actually download it from debports (if you follow the links youâÂÂll end up with a 404).

As your link says it's a debports package, so it is only available on arm64 architecture.
Are you sure you're using an arm64 based machine?
Thanks, I didn't know that. I don't run that kind of machine.

No, itâÂÂs not âÂÂonly available on arm64âÂÂ. The debports listing is a leftover and doesnâÂÂt point to an available file. ItâÂÂs an obsolete package which has been removed.
