I have three separate machines that have identical entries in

nhfsstone and it returns the expected data on nhfsstone. On machines 2 and
3 it tells me that the nhfsstone package cannot be found. Running
apt-cache search nfs on all machines yeilds similar results. Machine #1
has nhfsstone included in the result set. Machines 2 and 3 do not.
All machines are pointed to: deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian sid main
contrib non-free.
This just makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm pointing all three to the
same set of repositories and yet two machines cannot find a software
package the other machine finds. I realize that all machines may not see
exactly the same server every time, but to have a package being found on
one machine and missing on two others seems very strange.
Can anyone explain this anomaly this to me?
It seems to me that nhfsstone is no longer in Sid.
My guess is that machine #1 has it only as a local package. What is the
output of "apt-cache policy nhfsstone" on this machine?
