Thanks for that tip.
I waited for awhile to see how this worked out in case there was something
odd with a repo mirror not being in sync. But the problem I've seen remains.
If I disable the main squeeze repo mirror in source.list:
#deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
then the update can be found in squeeze-updates:
# apt-cache policy clamav
clamav:
Installed: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1
Candidate: 0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1
Version table:
0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 0
500 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages
*** 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
If I leave the main squeeze mirror (there are none other for plain
squeeze) in sources.list:
deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
then the clamav update does not show as available:
# apt-cache policy clamav
clamav:
Installed: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1
Candidate: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1
Version table:
0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 0
500 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages
*** 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 0
990 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
This jives with the report I've seen with apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
and what packages it would update.
I've never seen a case like this before. It has also been seen
if I change base squeeze mirror repos to yorku.ca:
http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
I wouldn't expect to have to comment out the core squeeze mirror entry
in order to use updates available in squeeze-updates
