apt-get update continues to push the same patches
I'm having a bit of a problem with apt-get upgrade.
Every night cron runs
apt-get update && apt-get -s upgrade | mail divirg@umich.edu
which emails the day's new patches to me. The next day I look at the
patches and install them with an apt-get upgrade.
One morning I get an email with:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
apache2-utils libapr0 lynx
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst libapr0 [2.0.54-5] (2.0.54-5 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst apache2-utils [2.0.54-5] (2.0.54-5 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)

Conf apache2-utils (2.0.54-5 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Conf lynx (2.8.5-2sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
So I run apt-get upgrade, and the updates are installed:
divirg@mjolnir[divirg]sudo apt-get upgrade

The next morning I get the same email:

Odd, so I run apt-get update & apt-get upgrade
Both finish without error, but sure enough, apt-get -s upgrade still
shows the same updates as needing to be installed.
This has been happening for at least a week. Since then, other
updates have become available, were installed, and no longer show up
when I run apt-get -s upgrade. What is the problem with these
three? I don't even have apache2 installed, I'm running apache
1.3.33-6. This is debian-31r0a-amd64. All packages have been
installed via apt.
Here's my sources.list:
deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ stable main
contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ stable main
contrib non-free
deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main
contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main
contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
I also have the following line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf to
tell apt to get stable releases if they exist:
APT::Default-Release "stable";
Any insight would be most appreciated.
