Cannot downgrade to `xpra=5.0.7-r0-1 (focal)` #123

xpra nowadays is a meta-package, strictly depending (=) on other packages, for modularity.

I'd like to downgrade it (from 5.0.8-r0-1) for testing purposes. Probably doing that on apt-get would get a lot tedious, so I wanted to try a GUI.

Sadly, I am getting this error:

Failed to SetCandidateRelease for focal https://github.com/mvo5/synaptic/blob/9885158b32ae40f03b9812bdaa3db3f1ff0e9abe/common/rpackage.cc#L1198-L1200

I know I am on an old system, but the code looks awfully similar. Even if this is not / cannot be fixed, I thought an FYI is nice-to-have.
