I have been dealing with this issue for some time. I have a sid installation & apt quit showing any packages that were available for upgrade about 2 months ago. I was using, for several years, kdepackage manager as my gui for handeling all package management functions. When I decided to try synaptic & aptitude, kdepackage quit showing the upgrades available. However synaptic seemed to work OK. Today I upgraded apt-cacher, apt-build, & apt-file from synaptic. After these were upgraded synaptic quit showing any upgradeable packages, kde-package is not showing any & dselect is just nuts, it's showing every thing installed is obsolete or local with no upgrades available either. The fact is that every package on my systems seems to be working just fine and all systems, & hardware are OK. So anybody with ANY idea PLEASE respond. -- John Foster
