does not help... oh, now it works, I deleted the complete available file and
recreated it with apt-get. Now the section is correct, thank you very much,
this is a very great relief!
Also my test packages with obsolete names are now no longer listed,
excellent, I should do that from time to time, to get rid of obsolete
package names.
BTW bumprace is installed now in woody, maybe you want to try it :-)
