This greatly confuses apt, because although my sources.list line lists "woody" explicitly, the Packages file in the woody directory refers to "unstable", which points back to potato, which doesn't contain the woody files. That might be another bug - it sounds to me like it would be better for the Packages file to point to woody by name. Anyone know who I should contact about this? There's not exactly a "package" to file a bug against. Stuart.
