packages available, but apt-get won't offer to install them

[Jeffrey Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>]

Hello,

I had the strangest problem tonight.  There are new versions of many
GNOME 2 packages, but apt-get does not offer to upgrade them.  For
example, the gnome-panel2 package was at 2.0.0-1 according to
apt-cache show, and the installed version was 1.5.something.  But,
when I did apt-get install gnome-panel2, apt-get refused and said
gnome-panel2 is already the latest version.  

That was pretty annoying, because it meant I had to go through the
whole GNOME 2 system installing everything by hand with =2.0.0-1,
manually figuring out the dependencies.

Here is my sources.list:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian ../project/experimental main


Is there a command I need to run to make apt-get forget itself?

-jwb
