I noticed this when the tex packages from both stable and unstable were shown at the same time in dselect. This happened after my upgrade from stable to unstable. When I fooled around a little I managed to truncate both available and available-old in /var/lib/dpkg. After that 'update' from dselect worked fine. The 'clear available' never worked in dpkg-ftp. I hand fixed the bug in dpkg-ftp by following the advise given in the url above. Andreas Tille wrote: > > Could someone give me a pointer to an explaination of this bug.
