Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.27-1+b5
Severity: important
Apt-move seems to have problems identifying a newer version of a
package if an extra '+' character was added for the new version.
Example:
In Debian 5.0.0, a package called
libcups2_3.1.8-1lenny4.1_i386.deb
was shipped, which is now in my apt-move repository. This package
has been upgraded to
libcups2_3.1.8-1+lenny6_i386.deb
which was recognized by APT as a newer version and hence downloaded
and installed. However, apt-move doesn't seem to recognize this and
refuses to move this new package into the repository.
Here is apt-move's output:
$ apt-move update
