On a fresh ubuntu 16.04 Docker image I ran apt-get update and then apt policy:

    You found the correct match. apt-cache policy output is simply a slightly different format. That's why they are "not exactly the same". The same archive, release, pocket, and architecture are all there

    You found the correct match. apt-cache policy output is simply a slightly different format. That's why they are "not exactly the same". The same archive, release, pocket, and architecture are all there
