Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.22.12 Severity: normal Hi! If the machine had an apt source removed for whatever reason (dist-upgraded from a past Debian release, a foreign architecture removed, etc), apt leaves the obsolete lists in /var/apt/lists/. While I find purpose of that behaviour questionable, it's how things currently are, and even if this changes in the future, you may expect cruft from past apt versions.
apt-show-version shouldn't read those files. With other bugs related to reading apt lists, perhaps you might want to run "apt-cache dumpavail" instead of reading them manually?
