'apt-cache show' will show the details of all the available versions.
If you just want to see which versions are available and what you've
set your preferences to, try 'apt-cache policy'.  Perhaps you've set
potato at a higher priority than woody, thus you're (unintentionally)
trying to install the potato version.
