I need to run cppcheck on several machines with different versions of Ubuntu. Normally I install cppcheck with sudo apt-get install cppcheck.

Well, one of the machines is running Ubuntu 16.04. An other is running Ubuntu 16.10.

I figured now out, that my installation process installs different versions on the machines. One machine has cppcheck 1.72-1, the other machine has cppcheck 1.75-2. I already found out, that this is a normal behavior. You can even check the installation candidates here.

Well, I need the same version an all machines. So I tried this: sudo apt-get install cppcheck=1.72-1. But then I get the error: E: Version '1.72-1' for 'cppcheck' was not found

  • Why do you want the same version? Newer releases rarely have older versions packaged for them. Worst case, you can try downloading the specific package file and installing it using dpkg -i. – muru Jan 04 '17 at 08:05

You could use 

apt-get download cppcheck
to download the deb-package file and install this on different machines with 
apt install ./cppcheck_1.72-1_amd64.deb
But this is not always working if (for example) decencies to library-versions or other packages are not met on one of the destination machines.
