was heard to say:

Hm. What if you run "apt-cache showpkg foo"?
Also: you said you ran "apt-cache search pkgnames" to see foo. Did
you mean "apt-cache pkgnames"?
I'm wondering if foo (what is it, anyway?) could be hanging around as
a virtual package. Note that in apt's view, this doesn't just mean that
it's a Virtual package in the dpkg sense; it could also be mentioned in
some other package's dependency fields.

package foo, is usually, a custom debian image, for example,
linux-image-2.6.24.1. I also had this problem by using an external
repository for compiz-fusion(i've done a clean install since then).
when i run apt-cache showpkg foo the output is :
Package: foo

apt-cache search pkgnames was wrong. i meant apt-cache pkgnames.
