Sorry to reply to my own mail, but I started trying to track this one
down and found the following:

$ dpkg -s ssh
... (copy and paste doesn't work from my terminal to netscape, so I'm
only entering what's relevant)...
Section: non-US/non-free
...
Source: openssh
Version: 1:1.2pre17-1
...

/var/cache/apt/lists/a_very_long_filename_with_nonus.debian.org_and_main_in_it
;) contains what seems to be the same information *except* for the
section line which lists non-US (by itself).

/var/lib/dpkg/status, naturally, agrees with dpkg and vrms, not with
apt.

What's going on? Is there any way I can find out how my system got into
this state? Are there any other files that I should be looking in?

Thanks,
Stuart.
