Yes:
$ apt-cache policy screen
screen:
Installed: 4.0.2-4.1
Candidate: 4.0.2-4.1
Version table:
4.0.2-4.1 0
300 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
4.0.2-4.1 0
200 http://amd64.debian.net stable/main Packages
4.0.2-4.1 0
990 http://amd64.debian.net testing/main Packages
*** 4.0.2-4.1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Same for all of the other packages in the list. So is this apt-get's
fault, or the package archives? If it's the package archives, then all
users with these same lines in their sources.list files should be having
the same symptoms as me.
Thanks, Andrew.
