a simple "dselect update" made information for most uninstalled packages available. There are still some packages with no description, but I guess these are packages which are indeed not available.

103 packages (omitted some for clarity)
Has anybody an idea why "apt-get update" doesn't update the file "/var/lib/dpkg/available" properly?
