Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.14
Severity: normal

I use debian testing, and some packages from unstable. Mostly packages
not available in testing. From time to time I run
'apt-show-versions -u' in order to check for updates of the packages
from unstable. The last weeks, I've noticed that
'apt-show-versions -u' never tells me about updated packages.

For an example:

sid:~# apt-show-versions -u
sid:~# apt-show-versions -a qprof
qprof 0.5.2-4 install ok installed
No stable version
No testing version
qprof 0.5.2-5 unstable ftp.se.debian.org
qprof 0.5.2-5 unstable http.us.debian.org
qprof/unstable *manually* upgradeable from 0.5.2-4 to 0.5.2-5
sid:~# 

Why isn't qprof listed when I run 'apt-show-versions -u'???

The work-around is this:

sid:~# apt-show-versions | grep upgradeable
libdjvulibre-text/unstable *manually* upgradeable from 3.5.20-11 to 3.5.21-1
nvidia-glx-ia32/unstable *manually* upgradeable from 169.09-1 to 173.14.09-5
qprof/unstable *manually* upgradeable from 0.5.2-4 to 0.5.2-5
xlockmore/unstable *manually* upgradeable from 1:5.22-1.2 to 1:5.22-1.4
sid:~# 

But it would be better if the -u option worked.
