yiff

[Andrew Pollock <apollock@debian.org>]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a brain haemorrhage here...

I've got a machine with only testing in it's sources.list for binary
packages, and unstable for source packages.

My understanding is the available file is made from the downloaded Packages
files.

If you look at the binary package yiff-server, the version in stable seems
to be higher than the unstable version (and I can't see any evidence of an
epoch). If I do a grep-available, the version returned from there is the
version that's in stable, whereas if I do an apt-cache show or an
apt-list-versions, I get the version back that packages.d.o says is in
testing.

Is something very screwed up here? I'm playing with a script that gets the
expected package version from grep-available, but it's not agreeing with the
version that apt installs.

*boggle*
