@pcalvert, why pin the rest of the repository to 50?

Because aptitude was trying to pull other packages (e.g., intel-microcode) from that repo during upgrades, and pinning the rest of the repository to 50 stopped that behavior. Pinning it to 100 didn't work. I thought it would, but it didn't.

Also, their Flash package downloads updated Flash versions without needing to be updated itself so using the .deb might be the best option.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

A pin value of 100 makes the MX repositories behave like backports, which sounds ideal for the intended purpose.

Also, their Flash package downloads updated Flash versions without needing to be updated itself so using the .deb might be the best option.

/etc/apt/preferences.d/mxrepo-pinning :

Package: adobe-flashplugin
Pin: origin "mxrepo.com"
Pin-Priority: 100

Package: *
Pin: origin "mxrepo.com"
Pin-Priority: 50

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mx-17.list :

# MX Community Main and Test Repos

deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ stretch non-free main

#deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ stretch test

Download the repo keyring and install it:

wget http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/m/mx-archive-keyring/mx-archive-keyring_2018.2mx17_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mx-archive-keyring_2018.2mx17_all.deb

Thanks
