IIRC if you say, for instance, "apt-get install foo", then apt only considers the newest version (well, subjected to pinning, but let's consider that pinning is not present) and then tries to satisfy its dependencies. It does not notice that it's not installable *and then* retry with older versions. At least that's how I understand it. Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- .''`.
