Does 'apt-cache policy foobar' list a version twice for the packages?
e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% apt-cache policy bash
bash:
Installed: 3.0-14
Candidate: 3.0-14
Version Table:
*** 3.0-14 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.05b-26 0
500 http://storage stable/main Packages
2.05b-26 0
500 http://storage stable-i386/main Packages
Those are two bash 2.05b-26 packages that apt considers different.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
Installed: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Candidate: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Version Table:
*** 2.3.2.ds1-22 0
500 http://storage stable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Those two apt considers equal.
