This is weird. You did not say on what release your maschine is, but I think it could be on unstable/testing. On a Wheezy system it is working for uninstalled packages but not for some packages which have a binary release like mplayer = 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1+b2 or nano = 2.2.6-1+b1. On a Sid system it is not working for all uninstalled packages. Thanks for the hint, we will try to find a fix. > It doesn't even know its own version, which is not very encouraging: > > # apt-show-versions -h > Apt-Show-Versions v.0.16 (c) Christoph Martin > > Usage: > apt-show-versions shows available versions of installed packages. This is not releated to the above, but needs to be fixed too.
