Bug Description
As https:/
I request the ability to install arbitrary versions because for diagnostic purposes — usually creating bug reports, but also when specific package version is programmatically useful — I need to be able to choose a specific version irrespective of the channels available.
As an example,
```.PS1
snap install powershell --channel=
```
shall currently install `7.4.1`, but when that changes, the command no longer installs `7.4.1`. This package does not provide versioned channels. How do I force it to forever install `7.4.1`? This specific example is a demonstration of the necessity of this feature, per https:/
For comparison, I can install a specific version of a Flatpak package using
```.PS1
flatpak install https:/
flatpak update app/com.
```
which makes the lack of this feature here all the more perplexing.
Set to “Fix released” per https:/ /forum. snapcraft. io/t/how- to-install- specific- version- of-snap/ 39254/6? u=beedellrokeju lianloc.
